Better than I had hoped for!
I had not planned to love my maranta as much as I do, but she is just so lovely. She has already begun producing flowers! Rooted is amazing!

Very pleased
I ve always like Prayer Plants. I was a bit skeptical about ordering plants by mail, but it worked out great. One leaf was has a tear in it, but otherwise, it's doing well. One thing I will say is I must have read something wrong because I was under the assumption that being I was a first time plant buyer, I received three small air plants as a free gift. Otherwise, I'm very pleased and will most likely order again

Great size leaves
I have seen this plant and loved its color and movement. I was not sure how healthy the plant would arrive. It exceeded my expectations. If is healthy and well rooted.
