Rough traveling, but awesome plant (26/06/2022)
Pre-ordered and picked this plant up at a local pop-up event. Nice, big plant with four sizeable leaves and wonderful color. Well packed, but didn't handle the travel too well. About 50% of the roots were rotten and had to be removed and the rest cleaned before potting. Two weeks later and remaining roots are good (no additional rot or problem). Within hours of potting, despite acclimating in high humidity, the entire plant wilted, badly. Lost two leave and remaining two have discolored patches, but are holding on 2 weeks later. Active growth end appears to have also dried out at the tip, but remains supple, so may not be gone. Stem itself has 3-4 good nodes and a very good looking growth point on one, should I need to chop and prop, so not a lost cause, but watchful care and some patience needed.
Excellent plant (18/01/2022)
The plant I received had 2 leaves and a new one getting ready to open. In 2 weeks I have lost none of the leaves. When I got this plant the root system was in excellent shape with no rot what so ever.
50/50 You'll Get a Healthy Specimen (07/01/2022)
Ordered 2 of these specimens from Ecua, 1st came and despite shipping stress acclimated fine and is now healthy. 2nd came with rot in the central petiole and died despite best efforts and conditions. Buy at your own risk :(
