My new plant arrived quickly and was packaged very well! It has quickly adapted to it’s new home and has been an easy plant to take care of. (the lists of easy to take care of plants helped me to choose this one! I tend to accidentally kill plants, but Mental Houseplants had all the info I needed to actually keep them alive). I highly recommend to order from them, especially for those who are new to plants ☺️
