Description

If selecting with soil mix, you will receive a little over one cup of our prepackaged Mexican Butterwort Potting Mix in addition to the bare root plant. This quantity of soil is roughly enough to fill one 2.5 x 2.5 x 3.5 inch square pot.

The Ping came exceptionally well wrapped and in very good shape. The nice size Ping perked up and is a happy camper.
