Heleconia dying or dead
I planted it in the garden area. Shadow in morning but sun by noon and until 4:00 Miracle Grow and water regularly. Seemed healthy at first after planted. Progressively got weaker and weaker. Now just lays on the ground. Very disappointed.

Healthy Starter Plants
Good starter plants. They are larger and more robust than any of the other dozens of varieties I have purchased on Amazon.

Heliconia rostrata
Heliconias do not overwinter well indoors in a colder climate. The plant came in perfect condition.

Very unpleased.
My order came broken and the person from the company did get back to me and said it was fine and wouldn't affect anything. I do believe them. But....I have a green thumb and floowed what they said to a t and the plant was dead 2 weeks later. I bought the blue powder ,made sure it wasn't overrated, in the sun.I am so disapointed.
