Bugs. They require a different type soil and slightly different care than a regular plant, but are so easy. A simple google search will give lots of info, but if you are the winner bidder I will be glad to give you some care and growing instructions. I do ship bare root so you would need a pot and dirt ready.

how big of the plant you are sending? Is this for one plant?

Nov 7th, 2012 at 11:02:49 AM PST by

Yes, this is one plant, and they are pretty big by now, a good 6-8 inches across from tip to tip. I will ship bare root, and if the winner needs care instructions please let met know, they dont handle regular soil like other house plants :)
