puny but healthy
By Fleur
The plant was in a 4" pot, as described, but the pictures on Amazon are quite deceptive. This is NOT a full-grown plant with bunches of leaves - this is the baby sprout before that. It seems to be healthy, so I am hopeful that it will continue growing to develop into a large plant like the one pictured, but the largest of the four (yes, four!) leaves on mine was about 3.5" long. For $11.50 ($6 for the plant and $5.50 for S&H), this is a waste of money. Local garden centers sell the same plant in a 5 gallon container for that same price - much larger versions that you can take home the same day. If you live WAAAAY out - far away from a city - and can not get to a local garden center without great effort and much travel, then this might be a good plant to purchase since it does have hopes of growing into something more one day. If you live in a city and have a garden center nearby - go there first and stock up on much bigger, badder, better plants!

By Cliff Krueger
Could not be more satisfied with the plant, nor with the fast shipping. It has continued to grow and soon will be needing to be transplanted.
Thank you
