After purchasing Ecuagenera plants at store pop-ups, this was the first plant I had shipped (to Chicago) from Ecuagenera after purchasing on one of their Instagram live sales. The packaging was very carefully thought out and the plant arrived in absolutely healthy condition.
Now, when I have a plant like this shipped, I have to monitor expectations. I SAW the plant I was buying so I knew the leaves were a little beat up. I purchased it despite this because I knew it would be healthy and strong. After unpackaging, I quarantined and did NOTHING else for a week. Less than a month later, the plant has given me TWO new leaves and is looking happy and healthy.
