## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Little plant with rapid growth
*by J***Y on 21 November 2024*

I received a lovely healthy plant, well packaged and delivered on time. Mmm I thought when I saw it, it’s a bit small, anyway potted it up in some good quality compost added in Some fertiliser beads watered it and waited. From about 5th day onwards my little plant started behaving like Jack's beanstalk! It grew very quickly into a lovely healthy plant it looks great amongst my fatsias, ferns, grasses, bamboos and rhododendrons very tropical at very small cost, the plant was now over 3ft tall when disaster struck! The flaming'' little beastie ants decided they loved the plant as much as I did, (this is not the fault of the seller). I used sticky bandage to stop the ants crawling up and I cleaned off those on the plant leaves and stem hopefully it will be OK, it suffered some leaf damage 😡is now wrapped in a fleece over wintering in my potting shed and I feel confident that we will have a good plant next spring. I am definitely going to order more and different species to mix in with my plants around my wildlife pond to achieve a tropical look.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Healthy plant
*by N***O on 24 April 2025*

Cute & healthy plant. Hopefully will grown big.Many thanks

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The plant is great and is growing well despite being a bit battered ...
*by C***1 on 24 July 2016*

The plant is great and is growing well despite being a bit battered and damaged in transit... the plant was folded inside the box which was as shame as it caused damage to the leaf bit embarrassing to give as a gift but just had to explain the issues but thankfully there has been a new leaf starting to grow.The plant is smaller than I thought it would be but it is doing really well in the position it has been put in and I look forward to it growing to a substantial size so that it produces fruit.The leaf that is growing is really pretty and a nice plant to look at despite it just being a green leaf.Beware of the slugs and snails as they like to have a much on the stem so I had to do emergency protective measures around the base to try and protect it.. but this could be due to the amount of slugs and snails about this growing season.
