Underwhelmed

Plants arrived looking sad. I planted as instructed and watering frequently but they are not doing well. One had only a few leaves upon arrival and I contacted the company. They sent me a replacement which looked sadder than the plant I contacted them about. I went ahead and planted it so we will see. I do not think I will order from them again.
