Very healthy little guy!! It's taking off now too!
I was apprehensive about ordering a live plant from Amazon. However, I was pleased by the result. I waited about 2-3 months to write this to make sure it was doing well. It took a while to get going after transplanting into a pot, but then it really took off and is now growing like bigger by the day! Of course I have not had enough to drink, but when that comes, I will update this. One branch went a little crazy and is MUCH taller than the rest. I'm considering making a cutting from it to root so I can have two. Will update with news on that too of I remember. Anyway, I was happy with it! I hope you will be too!

Best packing job ever. Plant came healthy and unstressed.
I've ordered a lot of plants off of Amazon and honestly this arrived in the best packing condition I've ever seen. I was worried because it kinda took a while to get to me and the box arrived at my door upsidedown. Other companies ship faster but they're always beat up because of the packing. I got a yerba plant and when I opened the box, it was completely undisturbed, no soil everywhere and it was easy to open without harming the plant. The yerba itself was healthy looking, no diseases or bugs/mites on the leaves... so far so good!

Arrived healthy and well
I was a little apprehensive about buying a live plant through the mail, especially because I ordered it during the winter and I was afraid of it freezing and dying. It arrived happy and healthy. It is just under 5 inches tall, I have had it for a week and it has just taken off! I would purchase more plant from this company again.

Healthy shiny plant
Healthy, green, shiny and lively plant, arrived two days ago before this photo, I transplanted it after two days to give it a change to get used to my area since travel time can be traumatic for the plant and transplant is traumatic for the roots.

Plant arrived on time and in excellent condition.
The plant is very healthy and growing well. Actually, not one leaf has died.

PERFECT PLANT!
I was extremely impressed with how healthy and well established this plant arrived. It didn't appear to be fazed with the transportation. The little guy was about 6 inches tall with a very sturdy stem holding it upright. The leaves are perfect and shiny. I can't wait for this little fella to start growing!I was so happy with the product and shipping speed that I went to the vendors website and ordered two banana plants. Speedy shipping and great communication!HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

The plant arrived and is healthy 2 weeks later but ...
The plant arrived and is healthy 2 weeks later but it is tiny, mine had 2 leaves and was under 3 inches tall upon arrival. The price is a little expensive for such a tiny plant.
