This little plant is so sweet and I love the color on the leaves. I received it quickly and it was well packaged with no damage to leaves. Thank you!
I love my Ficus Ruby. She arrived quick, healthy and packaged well. I'll certainly be back for more.
Arrived in good condition with new growth.
This was my first order and I was skeptical as to what the quality would be. This little plant changed all that. It arrived packaged very well. I unwrapped it and it looked a little sad but healthy with new growth. I waited a week to repot it and now it seems very happy. It has sprouted a new leaf and another is growing. I am very happy with this plant.
Such a nice plant! I’ve had it for two weeks and it’s already putting out new leaves.
