Arrived safely and it's beautiful! Very well packaged and I appreciate that the winter protection is included 👍
Healthy, cute lil plants! Always wanted one of these! Thank you Canopy for always delivering quality products. Never fails
Super easy to care for and loves the lights in my living room. She came with a little tiny new growth in the middle and now it’s getting larger. I let the soil completely dry before bottom watering with added plant food. The packaging was done with extremely care and will be a loyal customer. Ryan’s customer service was 10/10.
My Ficus is absolutely beautiful love the colors.
