Beautiful plants I always buy my plants through rooted plant shop. that’s my go to shop
The book is done so well. I can’t imagine the time you spent putting this all together. You’re truly a gifted gardener. Thank so much for this. I’ve always gardened outside the house plants and succulents are new for me. So I really appreciate this book and your website with plants in certain lighting. Thanks for helping me succeed in my plants. I also bought a Micah’s. What beautiful plant. Packed nicely and secure. Thank you I’ll be back for more plants. In a true follower from Kansas.
My Black Velvet Alocasia arrived VERY well packaged, healthy and is already pushing out a new leaf! With all the helpful information listed on the site I was able to place it and care for it exactly as it is needed.
This arrived in great shape and vibrant color. Will be ordering again.
What a cool way to discover new plants! I love it!
I am stunned at the Ring of Fire's color. So pretty. She's looking like she handled the trip well and I can't wait to watch her grow.
Beautiful plant. Shipping was great. Plant was well protected for shipping. Even came with an instruction card on what you should do when the plant you unpacked it.
Mel and her plants are amazing with my plants it's taught me to love again. Giving life to something that blossoms into something so beautifully 😍
