I ordered multiple philodendrons including this one, and they all arrived quickly, well packaged, healthy with 3-5 leaves. . Packaging was good, although personally I would stay away from using tape since it can lead to damage. There was some folding and creasing that damaged new growth but some of it is to be expected with shipping. I’ve had other sellers use sturdy cardboard boxes that would help minimize damage. Maybe Ecaugenera US will take this Recommendation and improve thier packaging process’sovetsll great experience!
