Nettle 'Baby's Tear' — A Living Carpet of Tiny, Perfect Leaves
Few plants are as quietly enchanting as Baby's Tears. Each trailing stem is densely packed with tiny, round, bright green leaves that overlap and cascade like a soft living carpet — giving it an almost moss-like appearance that's impossible not to touch. It's delicate-looking but surprisingly vigorous, spreading quickly to fill pots, terrariums, and hanging baskets with lush, textured greenery.
Native to the islands of the western Mediterranean, Soleirolia soleirolii is a mat-forming evergreen that thrives in cool, humid conditions. Indoors, it makes a stunning filler plant, ground cover in large planters, or a standalone statement in a small pot on a windowsill.

Alocasia Variegated Frydek Brandie Perry
The plant did not arrive in great shape. However, it was an alocasia and I did not add insulation so this is not on the seller (and we all know alocasia does not travel well anddddd they come back)
From start to finish the transaction was amazing. They gave me a discount for my next order even though I didn't ask for one because I knew the risks, and they continued to answer my questions and help me! Will def order again from them and would encourage others to as well!
