It arrived neatly packed and protected for shipping. Absolutely not issues. I was able to add it to my other 2 snake plants in the window above our front door because it’s the only window my husband’s cat can’t and won’t go to. I also like the little silver brushed pot it came in. I’m able to just take the growers pot out and take it to the sink when watering and let it drain before placing it back in the pot.
