Still Growing,
I really think these plants are indestructable. lol It came in a box and at first i thought they were fake, but it turned out that they were real. Had the plants for over 3 months now and they still look great. They seem to do just fine without a lot of sunlight and watering. If you are looking for a easy plant to take care of then i recommend buying one of these.

Hearty Survivor …… Doh!,
Purchased 9 months ago, currently 16″ tall and 28″ diameter. Placed on wall between two windows and it has grown wide to reach the sunlight on both sides. Lots of new growth and a unique look compared to other houseplants. A bargain beauty that adds character to any room. UPDATE: repotted last spring at 12 months, very shallow roots, progressively grew less healthy. Tried various locations, light conditions and hydrometer for proper moisture to no avail. Gave up and sent to garden in the sky at 20 months. Was a great plant for a year. If I were to acquire another, I would not repot annually, maybe at the 2 or 3 year mark. Having such shallow roots the 1 gallon container ( with mild spring and fall fertilizer ) likely would have had plenty of nutrients and given more time for root system to grow before shocking by repotting.

small but healthy,
The little palms are 10 and 11 inches tall, including the pot, so kinda small. They were nicely packed and arrived promptly. I really like them.
