Plant was nowhere near the size expected and was not in good shape. I'm hoping I will be able to pull it through.
Took a while to acclimate as it may have not preferred my lower humidity than a greenhouse. The leaves dropped off, but I kept watering as if they didn't. I now have two growth points and gorgeous leaves. This is a sensitive plant that needs patience and understanding, kind of like a relationship. Very pleased!
