Arrived on time. The packaging, the pot, and the plant are in perfectly good condition. Although it is priced quite high it delivers. It has been a month now the plant is holding up well. The secret is to water it right. Do not overwater it because it is succulent. only water when the topsoil feels dry. New leaves have sprouted. It is was a beautiful buy!
