Chocolate Soldier Episcia

My order arrived safely and was carefully packed. The plants were healthy and really nice. All are thriving. I was especially thrilled to receive episcia ā€œChocolate Soldierā€. A co-worker was given a rooted piece of this plant by another employee years ago. It thrived, sitting on her desk….beautiful. I have been searching for a healthy Chocolate Soldier for years (don’t see many of these) and now I have one! I am very happy with our transaction and hope to do business with this seller again in the future.
