Very very happy withy purchase from Grow tropical. I'm new to this plant world but I know quality when I see it and that's why I trust Grow tropical Team to send me only the best.

That’s what my grandfather would have said and here I am in my seventies doing proper indoor gardening with help from purchases from these lovely people!
The plants arrive as if they are going on a super-special holiday, they are strong, healthy and looking forward to my front room and meeting the other newbies that came last week.
It’s not just plants or even tropical plants, it’s growing medium, clay pebbles and much much more.
Rarities as well, look out for those, I need more beginners hours before I go down that route!
Check them out asap! They are fabulous :grinning_face_with_star_eyes:

My Boston fern and Asparagus fern which I re-potted not long ago, are having an increase in new growth spurts since switching to this mix. I will be ordering this again if needed.

Thank you. Plants arrived in wonderful condition. We love Mimosa, she's a little shy but ever so charming!
Banana plants are beautiful too.
Slowly trying to accumulate as many plants as I can that I used to see as a child, during my holidays in Kerala, India. :-)
