Customer Reviews
Plant arrived well packed. It did lose about 25% of its leaves within its first week, but that's to be expected from a Ficus. Its doing very well now and is a lovely addition to my collection.
My 6" Ficus Triangularis Variegated arrived very well
packaged, in beautiful condition, despite having lost
a number of leaves in transit. This was not surprising. In the next couple of weeks it dropped
a few more leaves but now seems to be acclimating
nicely to its new environment and showing new growth. I love this little tree and the great service by Canopy Plant Co. in
fulfilling and shipping their orders. I'm sure I'll be ordering again once I make room for more plants!
The focus was shipped perfectly, but due to shipping shock, it dropped 90% of its leaves. I expected this, as we know the ficus is a moody species. The variegation on the plant is beautiful and I expect it to revive. I am mentioning this because I don’t want people to be alarmed if you have this plant shipped to you. It will bounce back. I’m very happy with my purchase and look forward to my next one.
My ficus came in excellent condition and perfect size. Exactly what I was hoping for.
