What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Calathea Makoyana for its vibrant, intricate foliage and robust health upon arrival. A key theme is the vendor's exceptional shipping care, ensuring the plant arrives larger and fuller than expected, immediately enhancing home aesthetics. While most experiences are positive, minor issues include slight cosmetic leaf damage from transit and occasional pest concerns requiring immediate attention. Some novice owners find the high humidity requirement challenging, leading to leaf crisping. Despite these isolated transit or care difficulties, the consensus confirms this purchase delivers a high quality, beautiful specimen highly recommended for indoor plant collections.
