Great, high quality plant!

I recently purchased a nice specimen of Heliamorpha minor in a 4 inch pot. The specimen was top notch as described by the business and arrived in great shape. They answered all of my questions both before and after the purchase in a timely manner. They even told me to let them know if I had more questions about the care since Heliamorpha can be a little tricky to set up properly.

Healthy plant, well packaged.

I received a very well wrapped plant with healthy roots and actively growing. It transferred easily to my terrarium and is growing. Plant is remarkably more resilient than the literature says, and is actively growing just after transplantation.
