I ordered one plant, which arrived packaged very well. The entire plant, including the pot, was wrapped twice in thick layers of packing paper. The box was then filled with packing peanuts. As expected, the offshoots had all come loose during shipping, but I was completely surprised by the sheer number of them. I'd already purchased pots in the expectation of potting them, but imagine my surprise when I realized there were 18 new plants, and the mother plant was still very large. I couldn't be happier. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the offshoots root! Oh. Beware... it may be called "paper spines", but there are teeny tiny thorns you can't see but will certainly feel once you've been stuck. :)
