# I need neutral opinions, so y’all, please tell me - would you be…

I need neutral opinions, so y’all, please tell me - would you be disappointed if this is the plant you received (right), vs what was pictured in the listing (left)?

I understand shipping stress and cold damage, that’s not the problem. I’m talking about the size of the plant.

The listing didn’t indicate that this was “grower’s choice,” and all the photos were of the same plant, so I took that to mean I’d receive the plant pictured.

The listing is down now otherwise I’d send more photos.

I buy a lot of plants online (almost every week), and rarely have problems.

AIOR?

Honest opinion, based solely on what I see, it appears to be the plant pictured, but looks clipped in a few spots and suffered some damage during shipping, which is why you ended up with this maybe 🤔

Still looks rad 🙌💙 tho how unique it looks the foliage and all

Thank you! I’ve been looking for this plant for months. It’s common in the UK, but is just now becoming available in the US. ☺️

Just needs a little bit of love a plant is a plant 🫡

#### Mads replied on 2025-12-24

You’re not wrong. I’d hate to ship it back and have the poor thing pass away in transit. 🥺

Honestly I would not be happy. If it’s the shipping maybe they should reassess their shipping process. If it’s hard to find it maybe worth it to keep it and try some TLC and I wish you luck. Have you reached out to the seller?

#### Mads replied on 2025-12-24

I did contact the seller. Their only response was to send me a return shipping label.

At first I was going to return the plant, but I think I’ll keep it and learn my lesson never to buy from that seller again.

A lot of sellers show the mother plant and if they are honest they will tell you that it’s the mother plant and not the plant you’ll receive. Don’t worry in no time, you’ll have it looking similar and thriving like its mama. Happy growing.
