This beast beats all the odds, survives some pretty crazy (accidental) neglect, and still looks gorgeous doing so!

I love my philo hope! She’s absolutely beautiful and seems to be thriving even in the low light of my northeast facing apartment window. She’s been putting out giant leaves regularly and does well being watered once her soil gets dry. Such a beautiful, low maintenance plant.
