Customer Reviews

I love it
I am very happy with my purchase!
The leaves on this Alocasia are so soft and furry, they remind me of African Violets. The leaves are also jet black. 🖤🖤🖤 once again a beautiful plant from Canopy Plant Co. He’s only dropped one leaf during its two weeks of acclimation.
I wanted this plant so bad that when it got back it stock I ordered right away, I was so quick to get it thar I forgot to check the box for thr fastest shipping. I was worried what condition the plant would be in spending 4 days on a truck. But the care they take to package these plants is immaculate. It was healthy and already pushing out a new leaf. You gave a customer for life.
