Arrived pretty healthy. Some singed leaves and one leaf has a hole in it. I didn't see any parasites or issues so it may just be shipping stress. It seems to be doing well in quarantine (one week so far). The leaves have perked up to the light and using time-lapse I've seen them slowly start getting taller.
This is one of the most beautiful plants i’ve had the pleasure of growing; it sits as the centerpiece foliage in my citronella tinctorius enclosure, and easily draws eyes!
