Further information on your plant

All plants are measured from the bottom of the nursery pot to the tip of the plant and if a height is specified, this is an approximate height, not set in stone. As all plants are living things, they will vary in size throughout the year, and we do our best to give a guide as to the size you can expect. If in doubt drop us an email hello@leafculture.co.uk. And lastly, minor flaws in leaves might be present and will not be covered for compensation. It's worth noting that plants naturally age like people and are rarely perfect.

Gorgeous plant

I was shocked at the size of this plant - extremely good value for the price. I love it and I hope it settles well into my jungle! Great colour and leaf shape, it gives a good contrast to the plants surrounding it. Very impressed with this company in general, I had an order of 12 plants and almost all of them actually exceeded my expectations in terms of their growth/bushiness/size. Every single plant was very healthy, with glossy leaves. The delivery arrived 36 hours after being placed (which was late at night) in robust and sustainable packaging. Personal touches also, good customer service and I loved the fact that I had an unexpected email saying that, as a result of my order, they had planted a tree in the Madagascar mangrove forest via Tree Nation. Wonderful.
