This was the FIRST and LAST time I will order plants on-line. The box was clearly marked THIS END UP, with an arrow pointing to the top of the box. I was home when it was delivered and watched the driver literally throw the box onto my porch. The box landed on its side. I'm pretty sure the box was not kept upright in the truck either. One of the plants inside was very small, and was knocked completely out of its pot. I am not sure it will survive. I paid $22 for shipping, and only 2 out of 3 plants in my order arrived in acceptable condition. Bad experience.

This guy has gone bonkers in my hot humid climate. An absolute grin of a plant. Super adaptable. We’ve had more rain than usual this summer and between days of sog and scorching 100 degree temps, this fella has thrived.
