Excellent

Poor Packaging

I wasn't pleased with the way the plants were packaged - dry, lots of loose dirt in the box, and several broken leaves - but I can say that all plants appear to be growing and suffered no long lasting damage.

Hello,

I'm so sorry you weren't pleased with how your package came. Some loose dirt is to be expected with transit. Sometimes, carriers get a little rough with boxes. If you clip at the area where the broken leaves are it will allow it to produce more growth at the base of the plant. Native plants are very hardy and tough and will grow even stronger when they get clipped.

Very healthy plants

Just picked up my Punctata tray. Very healthy, bushy plugs. Staff was very helpful.
