Wow

Totally worth it. I bought this plant from other sites because Josh's Frogs hadn't had it in stock for a while… I got a notification saying it was back in stock and combine that with the free shipping promotion I bought three of these suckers since I accidentally killed the other one. Way better deal for a lot less price! Much larger than I anticipated and arrived extremely healthy! Very satisfied and highly recommend if you can catch it back in stock to order it here!

Beautiful Small Plant

I was very happy to see this plant with such small leaves. I wasn't sure how big the leaves will be. I hope they won't get any bigger than this as the plant grows. The plant arrived very strong and healthy so I'm very confident that it will climb up the foam background.

Healthy and adorable

I fell in love with this plant and really really wanted to find it, so I stocked the site until it came in and then ordered right away. Absolutely not disappointed, it’s just like a Barbie size fig vine and will be the perfect addition to my terrarium.The plant was healthy and beautiful just as expected when it arrived and several months later it’s doing wonderful still.
