What customers say
Enthusiasts highly praise the rare Climbing Rock Plant for its unique aesthetic and novelty. A major highlight is Logee's exceptional packaging, which consistently ensures the delicate caudex arrives healthy and undamaged, reflecting high quality stock selection. Buyers report strong viability with successful sprouting postpotting. The primary concern centers on value; the premium price point results in some disappointment regarding the small size of the caudex relative to the investment.
