The plant arrived very quickly, and was very well packaged. The grower certainly put time, attention, and care into the raising of this plant. It arrived in bloom, as well as with buds on other sites. The leaves are so green and have such a deep luster, my family though I first I had ordered a 'fake' pant. Imagine their surprise when I watered it!! The care instructions are well written and easy to follow (sunlight and water when dry), and it seems to be a very low care plant that provides added beauty for you home as well as a nice conversation starter!!

It arrived sooner than expected. I was very impressed at how well it was packaged. The plan is not as big as shown on the image on the amazon page and has no flowers. But, I was very amazed on how healthy the plant is and after putting in a bigger pot, the plant continues to grow and still looks as healthy as when it arrived. It was my first time buying a plant by mail, and will definitely buy again.

I received my Crown of Thorns cactus in the mail yesterday afternoon, much faster than I (or Amazon) anticipated. Let me just say, the plant looks wonderful! It has a few beautiful red flowers and nice green leaves. The cactus spine looks great and the soil looked good too. The packaging impressed me as well. I was nervous about ordering plants online but have to say that this crown of thorns looks 10 times better than one I found at a local nursery for the same price. These plants can be hard to find so it was such a relief to get such a great one. I am so very pleased with this transcation!!!

It is dead. It died two days later even after I followed all the instructions. I have lots of houseplant including a white crown of thorns. Here is the picture of the plant before I threw away. The other is a pix of one of several orchids that I also have in sun room.

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2013
This is a VERY SMALL plant sent in comparison to one I received from a Bulb Company we buy plants on line from. It was so dry upon arrival that the few leaves it had and the only flower it had, dried up and fell off the first two days. A month later, after placiing it in a partially shaded room that only gets morning sun, it is doing okay and I think it will make it. I have basically "neglected" it since I remember my Mom having a HUGE Crown of Thorns plant when I was growing up, and she watered it only about every two or three weeks, and it filled a window and was loaded with flowers all the time! Mine now has a sturdy leaf and is sprouting more green growth in the center, so I am pretty certain it will make it despite it's rough beginnings. I would NOT reorder this particular plant from this source though.
