does not like soil that gets too wet, but if you get it right, these things are tough, and can handle a dart frog or mourning gecko with ease. Doesnt even bow in the slightest.

This and all of my plants came in amazing condition. My Swedish ivy in particular was larger than I expected!

It wasn't as sturdy as I hoped but after a little jimmy-up it was perfect for arboreal dart frogs! It came with no issues of the leaves and the stem was not broken.
