What a gorgeous plant! How did you travel with her on a plane of all things? What we do for our plants, it’s amazing, isn’t it? 😊💚🪴

Thank you! I was so excited to find her. I got in qc and took her home to bc on the plane in my backpack. Carefully packed into a box that was small enough for her to slide in. Used cardboard cut and bent into triangles around the base of the cup. Kept her as upright as I could :) I’ve never ordered plants but I hear they come packaged very well- this was totally a try and use what I got kinda thing

I’m really glad to hear that you ordered this plant through the mail, is that correct or am I mistaken? And you sounded like you received it in really good condition. What’s the name of the company that you ordered your plant from, if I may ask?  
Recently, for the first time, I ordered a plant through the mail; it was a White Fusion Calathea that I had wanted for quite a while. It was a wreck when it arrived; I have pictures of all the messed up leaves that I have taken off. I should warn everybody about this mail order company; they don’t send out a decent product. I can’t imagine how long it’s going to take this plant to recover and be pretty like I had planned.  
I must add, that your plant is absolutely beautiful! Is that actually the condition that it was in when you received it?  
If you have a moment, maybe you can update me on how you got your plant and who you received it from.  
Enjoy your beautiful plant! Regards…  
😊💚🪴

There are several good plant sellers on line. Try Canopy Plant Co., Plant Proper, Steve’s Leaves, Gabriella Plants, and Gardino Nursery. There are many more on the Etsy app.

Thanks for that info! Have you mail ordered many plants, and if you did, what condition did your plants arrive? Regards.  
😊💚🪴
