I don’t know how this plant is so happy, buts it’s so happy that it’s pushed out 2 pups in the few months I’ve had it! It does live in my greenhouse cabinet under grow lights so I have lots of control over the environment.
It’s absolutely stunning, grows medium-fast, I highly recommend if you’re looking for something that knocks your socks off to add to your collection!
