Arrived healthy and a good portion. Another great experience with order from Daku!
great plant
The plants were some of the best I have ordered online. Healthy looking, no dead or melting parts. The amount of leaves in the bag was great for the price. Will definitely order more in the future! Communication was also very prompt and we worked around the very cold weather at the time to ensure everything arrived in good condition!
So far so good
These came in super healthy and already rooting in the pot. Look great and stilll look great after a couple weeks.
