Condition upon arrival and what did you do with it after it arrived?  Replant?  Etc.?

 

Thanks

@Foxxee   Did it not come with instructions?

Will receive it sometime in May.  I wasn't looking for directions. If they aren't included, I'll look up on the internet.  

 

Am just curious whether those who received them in the past were pleased with their plants.  Were they healthy upon arrival?  How they are doing now.

Thanks for the link, but I already read that link and others before I placed my order. I'm really only interested in experiences from other buyers right now.  

 

Again...was the plant healthy on arrival?  Did it survive?  Did they have to replant it?  How tall was it? Did it have flowers on it?  ETC.

My Desert Rose had leaves when I purchased it directly from Roberta's site. I live in southern Florida. I tried to grow it inside a room with a sunny southern exposure window.  I was too faithful about watering it and found it lost leaves.  I stopped watering it so much then found it had tiny bugs.  I sprayed it then got so fed up with it I put it outside and ignored it.  It blossoms but is missing leaves. I am going to leave it outside and water it every 1 1/2 months and see what happens.
