"Fantastic! Plant arrived quickly in fantastic shape"
"Perfect condition"
"Great leaves. Tissue culture was in excellent condition. So easy to order on the website."
"The leaves in the potted version I got were slightly damaged but the roots were healthy. Overall no real complaints."
"I love how grass like this plant is and I got a very generous portion!"
"The microsword tissue culture was in excellent condition. I've recieved tissue cultures from other vendors where the leaves were wilted due to being burried in the gel. This cup was perfect as all the gel was firmly at the bottom with leaves grown on top and the plant was in excellent condition. Will buy again!"
