    The quality of plants were ok but communication was nil from time of purchase . After a week of multiple messages someone responded to confirm package has been shipped.

    The delivery partner ship rocket was even worse . Took literally 3&1/2 days to deliver the product from Malappuram to kannur which is neighbouring 2 districts in Kerala . So overall I would say it was below par experience !!
