Received the plants in excellent condition although it took 5 days to reach me after it was shipped by the seller. The plants are little tiny contrary to my expectations, but I am glad to receive them in good condition. The soil(just one bag) is inadequate to plant all the plants, but that’s no big issue, anyway happy with the purchase
