Flawless

Great packaging! I couldn’t decide which dumb cane to get and the panther does not disappoint. It is very healthy and beautiful!

Healthy starter plant

Like others have mentioned, the packaging is second-to-none. Josh's Frogs has solved all pain points of shipping foliage-heavy plants by simply not over-engineering. They use heavyweight paper to keep the plant insulated rather than smush it to death with bubblewrap. As a result, what you get is a beautiful, healthy plant. Its new home is beside a large Camilla and a Marianne from the same order.

Dieffenbachia Panther

I do not have a green thumb at all, and this is one of the harder to take care of plants I received in a bioactive kit for crested geckos from Josh's Frogs and so far I haven't managed to kill it. Actually it's already starting to sprout new leaves, and I'm rather excited to be able to watch it grow along side my gecko and to propagate it for future terrariums. They package all their plants very well for shipping, and if you do have any issues I can assure you this is one of the best customer service experiences you will have in you life.

Arrived in perfect condition

Nice and quick delivery for all those people that have very little patience. My reflector was in perfect condition. I keep checking back for more products from here. Some people like to instantly have a big plant but I like being able to watch it grow.

Wonderful

First time ordering. Living in Wisconsin it is risky to order in Winter even with heat packs. This came perfect! Plant and dirt were cool but not cold and not frozen. The packaging was done so well none of the plants I ordered had any damage. I will be ordering more of these.
