Message The packaging seems a little weak, and the postman who delivered it was a little confused.
Thank you for the beautiful plants.
It took about 10 days to get from Thailand to Japan, but there were no problems with customs procedures or the plants.
They’re currently recovering after their long journey. I think they’ll get used to their new environment.
