EARTH STAR CRYPTANTHUS BIVITTATUS RED RUBY PINK 2” POT 3 PLANTS
the plants are beautiful, exactly what I wanted! Seem to handle the shipping pretty well. The US mail isnt always the gentlest. Good price point, no added shipping cost, shipped the same day I ordered! I will order from Flowerpot nursery again!
