I was a bit nervous about this plant because could not find a lot of information about how to care for it.
I have been applying basic plant logic. Bright indirect light and water when top of the soil is dry and it’s been working out great.
The teeny tiny leaf that it came with has been growing considerably every day, there ar emore leaf buds on the way, and it’s not showing any signs of stopping.
I water when the top of the soil is dry, so I do snooze Greg liberally (as with most of my plants).
Pleasantly surprised that it’s not as hard to care for as I expected.

This is a great plant for a beginner to a full-fledged expert. Mine don’t like direct sun, but other than water, (and even overwatering is okay with it, by tremendous amounts), and some light, they’ll be fine. And if you break off a branch by accident, just stick it in a vase of water and it will soon get roots. And a fast grower with beautiful leaves will quickly keep growing.

This plant doesn’t need a lot of sun, you water it a few days a week and it grows on its own :)

I really like unique looking plants and this fella is a great addition to my plant family. When I got him, he had quite a bit of frost damage from winter shipping to Michigan and post office delays, but he stuck with me. Now, in April, he’s growing like a weed, with new leaves almost every day. A great plant.

One of my top favorite plants by far!! I’ve chipped this baby down a few times when I think it’s given up, and it pops right back up. It grows quickly and gets very tall!

A stunner! I still consider myself a beginner and was nervous to pick up one initially. However, it’s currently putting out 3 new leaves all at once. It was a lil crispy when I first got it, but nothing some steamy showers couldn’t fix!
