It's a stunner
Plants arrived in great shape.
The plant came in not great condition yellowing leaves and droopy. I was expecting something more similar to the image above but i got different looking leaves and not the same color
The plant was extremely well packaged and arrived in healthy condition. The size was as expected. It's such a beautiful plant! I will be ordering from them again soon.
I’m never disappointed when I receive a plant from Canopy Plant Co. My expectations are always met or exceeded.
