Size matter!

Ì bought the 200 mm size thinking they would be a bit taller than the ones I received, I think they should advertise the hight rather then the pot size☹️

Absolutely beautiful.

The plants that were delivered were Beautiful, healthy, and much bigger than I expected for the price.

And the delivery driver was amazing, dropping off the plants down our very long driveway, out of view from the road, and not blocking anything.

Fantastic product and service.
