As a regular customer of online garden centres and shops, I am very disappointed with the condition of the plants I received. I order from your site for the uniqueness of the plants but my last order has a poor quality/price ratio, mediocre! I planted the plants as soon as I received them, and I am waiting to see how they will recover, but the current visual is not very pleasing unlike the purchases I usually make, where the plants, whether small or larger depending on the price, are in better condition!
