Fabulous!

I received my first order just before Christmas and I can’t wait to order more! Plants arrived with their own little heat pack which was still warm when I opened them and each plant was well protected from travel. They are all seeming to settle in well and I love them

A lovely Purple Plant

The plant arrived very well packed as always, on unpacking I could see that it was very healthy and purple.
It appears to be thriving, but it's good to receive such a healthy plant as a base to grow onwards and upwards.
I'll definitely be purchasing again from Grow Tropicals as prices are reasonable, packing is very good and sturdy, plants arrive in very good conditions and the plants themselves are great quality.
