Bigger than what I was expecting.
This plant arrived in great condition, my only problem was that it was nearly falling from its pot. It didn't appear to be something that had happened in transit. It was like the lot may have lost soil but there was no loose soil in the box. I'm not sure but it's really no big deal, I'll just repot!
It's been some weeks now it did come in pretty beat up normally they are packaged Beautifully but this one time it was packaged with one leaf crinkled up in the wrapping which broke it but this in not normal from canopy. I put it on a moss pole and it is loving it!
I recommend Canopy Plant Co. Nice healthy plant, fast shipping!
