I see. Thanks for that. I gave them a call and it seem that what ever tree you pick from photo is the tree you get but as for the health and pest i totally get that it might not be optimal. All the photos are taken in a all white back ground and lighting so they might be drested up a bit. Guess I'm talking the gamble, hope i hit 7.

What Im talking about is at 4:20 BTW


He sais:
- Check the soil
- As soon as suitable, repot.
- Repot only in spring and summer (Note: What he does not sais: It would depend on the species what time of year), unless it is a tropical species; They can be repotted yearround.

What I was adding: Make sure you know how to take care of the plant and make sure it is healthy. IF you have a lot of experience keeping plants, you can repot easily, and not worry. If you do not have the experience, the risk of killing it repotting is bigger than killing it because of substrate. But well these are personal opinions. Repot if you feel that is the best route for you.

Don't get discouraged, if you kill a tree or two, we all do. ;)
