Hello Wayfair. Thank you for letting me be part of Tried and True. I appreciate it and intend to be honest. The Banana Leaf plant. It is truly beautiful. The plant is very healthy. The leaves are dark green with a new leaf growing.The soil was fresh and soft. I can look at it and be reminded of Puerto Rico while living in N.Y.C.. The Basket is very well made.The handles are sturdy. It is easily removable and has plastic lining. The price unbeatable. The plant was wrapped extremely well. When I took it out the box ,no soil spilled. What I did not like. The delivery method. I was in the window and saw the box lying on its side under boxes. This caused the leaves to be torn and there is no way to repair that. I think they should be mindful of living things. This is my first review. I hope I did O.K. Thanks again, Rita Mayo.
