(Posted on 2/7/2019) - Too costly Review by Saniya Khan

My first review was rejected and not posted because it was negative and I know this one won't. But I will try. Selling tiny plants for exuberant costs, local nursery will provide a larger plant for the price I paid. The plant arrived with dried and broken leaves, its a miracle it survived and now the plant sprouted a baby plant and is growing healthy. When you charge so much, send healthier plants.

Hello,Price Value Quality
The above plant purchased few months back is growing well and healthy. But it has not sprouted till date. Smaller plants in my neighbourhood have sprouted and hanging beautifully in baskets and in pots too on the ground. Lot of new plants have come.
