Plants half advertised size - fraud by false representation
Edit: 5 March 26
They sent me a replacement Aspidistra and had good communication so I will increase my review by 1 point up, as I’m still unhappy about the bird of paradise plant.

Dear Sir/Madam
I am disappointed I’ve not heard back from you today. It is too costly to return the plants but they are half of the expected size as per your website. And the leaves on the bird of paradise are damaged, torn and broken and covered in black dirt. Like the Aspidistra they too contain half the number of leaves I was expecting.
If you are wiling to send me another aspidistra and another bird of paradise at the same size I purchased I can repot them each into the orginal’s pot to make the one plant whose volume I was led to believe from your website words and pictures. Even though the pots were smaller than advertised both roots systems were tiny and could have fitted in a 12-14 cm pot!
I would accept receiving those two again expecting them to be the same size as mine or better and therefore making the volume of the plants and roots paid for to be an adequate route to rectify my being misled and missold by your website images, pot sizes and sizes of plants. This is fraud by false representation.
Please inform me if you are happy to do this? I will just let go that the dracena was in a smaller than advertised pot but again it’s minuscule root system would have not needed more and cut that loss if the other two are put right. But please send me ones with healthy leaves unlike the multiple damaged leaves on the bird of paradise
Kind regards
Ruth Jacobs.

Also to mention the aspidistra only has 5 leaves and looks half the volume of the advertised images on your website. Where I wrongly wrote “ I meant cm.

Dear Sir/Madam
I ordered 3 plants from your website but they are all smaller than advertised. The bird of paradise and the aspidistra were advertised as being in 19” pots and the Dragon tree as being in 21” but they are all in pots 2” smaller than their stated size. The plants are also therefore smaller than expected.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards
