    The plants came very healthy and in good shape....

    Posted by Leslie Ochsner on Aug 14, 2022

    The plants came very healthy and in good shape. They should do well. It would be nice, however, to have a description of the care of these plants in the box, ie sunlight requirements, type of soil, etc,because it’s usually a long time after I’ve ordered them before I get them and I’ve forgotten what was said about them and I have to go research them.
