Healthy, robust plant. Great customer service.
Previous plants I've purchased were delivered via L&G directly, but this time via UPS, which I was a bit worried about. Plants did well in the shipping materials. I had to contact L&G because I could not find an additional product I ordered, but they sent a helpful picture to verify packing and I found them cleverly disguised!
