I would have given it 5 stars but was not impress with the health of the cutting. It is alive, but I have gotten this plant before, from same company, while 4” the last one was significantly thicker, with already showing roots. Right now after a month, Im just hoping it will survive, been little to no growth. My old one in the first month was already a foot high with multiple branches. It is as described 4”, but scrawny 4” plant.I thought by the pictures that they show you would get a heath cutting what I got for $18.99 +taxes was a stalk with no leaf growth and a few roots. Hopefully I can get it to grow.Beautiful plant starting to growThe plant waS very much on small side and very dried out. After a month of cRe it seems to have made the turn and started growing.Would buy again, worth the moneyI was surprised when I got it. Like most plants I have received from Amazon, it was not in a pot. It was just laying wrapped in paper. I wasn't sure what to think. I put it in planting soil, watered it, and sat it in a sunny location. That was a few weeks ago. After several waterings I have noticed all kinds of new growths. I am so happy.I received the cactus and the bottom was green the top half was brown I contacted the shipper and they said that was normal. I have had it for about a month and the bottom is showing signs of growth the top nothing I will have to wait and see but is at least alive
