Always green
"Amazing, and trusted. Love yall at Buce plants because I always get quality."
My experience
"Overall, my experience was pretty good. The plants I received were healthy, it was a pain to clean off some of the agar on the tissue culture plants that I purchased. But that was a lack of foresight on my part not necessarily the company. Most of the plants still survived. My order was sent out in a timely fashion. The only complaint I have is that my plants came with a parasitic snail. Being that I'm new to the hobby, this could be a challenge. I'm sure I will overcome it, so it will not hinder me from using them in the future, however, I will be more aware to try to mitigate the problem."
Great plants not so great shipping practices
"Selaginella came healthy and as expected. The only complaint I have is that it was shipped in the same box with heavy bags of rock and sand that shifted back and forth crushing the plants. 4 out of the 5 plants were still in good shape with minimal damage, but not unscathed. One plant was damage pretty bad, I ended up salvaging it into little propagation pieces and look forward to the regrow."

"The plant was beautiful but I waited too long to plant it - wilted - hoping to revive it"
Quite nice
"It looks very nice and vibrant green under the LED in my terrarium pot. The plant is very small, so you can break it into tiny little clumps that look almost like miniature ferns. It was healthy in the package when I received it."
