Gorgeous!
This plant is the coolest plant I’ve ever had. It moves around throughout the day, looks beautiful, and bonus: I think my cats are afraid to try to chew on it! It’s safe if they decide to try, but I’m happy they aren’t so far. Excellent quality and excellent experience with L&G!

Love, love, my unique calathea
I have had lots of interesting comments about my new calathea I have named "Olive." It looks like flowers are intricately painted onto the stems with a fine paint brush. It is lovely! I hope to order other plants soon. Thank you for the helpful love notes on how to take care of the Calathea. ❤
