    Perfect justice

    Although i was very anxious and worried about whether the plants I received would be healthy or not.
    When I saw the containers and the plants, i was so happy.. You should buy at nurserylive exclusively. The pink and the jade syngnoniun (however it's spelled) I ordered from another places were tiny in terms of size. The pot was adorable, but it too was small. However, the ones from nurserylive are large and healthy.. You can view the photos.
