from 221 reviewsI ordered a lemon button fern in a nursery pot, thinking it would be a smaller plant, and I received a larger sized, beautiful plant! It was packaged well and came in a timely manor. I am very happy with my purchase.
Love these products!
Beautiful little guy...healthy and thriving.
Beautiful, soft, and large- exactly what I was looking for.
Per my provider's directions, I put 5 drops into a small amount of water and stir. This product has not excipients (filler ingredients) and is tasteless.
Arrived very nicely packaged. No leaf out of place. It is now full of pretty little white flowers. Beautiful foliage....a healthy little plant.
Have not tried this yet, I put them away to have in emergency, I have a lot of TVP flavor soy protein. Building up the freeze dried meats now.
Perfect for 1 to two year Olds. Super versatile portion sizes. They stay suctioned... good baby shower gift.
It looked beautiful when it arrived and has been so healthy!
This is a great bamboo whisk .
