The plant was very small as advertised, but it looked very healthy. There were some neat liverworts growing with it, which some people wouldn’t like, but I personally do. Overall, a good plant.

Thank you for the feedback Matthew. Please keep in mind foliage for this plant is small, growing in the form of thin grass-like leaves. If this is not visible though, something may have happened during shipping and we’d be happy to work with you on a replacement.
