Plants are delivered in nursery pots. We try our utmost to deliver a plant that looks similar to the one pictured - remember that no two plants look the same.
These plants endure massive shock when being transported, we acclimate and recover them before selling, but you are likely to find some dead roots if you remove the plants from the growing media, this is normal. We do not remove them from the growing media before shipping to check the roots for obvious reasons, but a plant that is growing happily for more than a month will keep on doing so unless there are drastic changes.
DO NOT repot this plant for at least 1 month after receiving it, the plant will go into shock again and reset the acclimation/recovery process, which can lead to death or an exceptionally long waiting time for new growth.
We look after our fellow planties, as many of our customers can attest to, if you experience problems with your plant, contact us, we will always assist.
