When it first arrived the leaves were dark but had slight gray that I repeatedly mistook for dust. We are now at one month and the new leaves have come in beautifully with wonderful silver on dark green! I have some leaf curl that is probably due to lower humidity (~50%) but overall it seems to be pretty happy in my home.
Gorgeous plant with dark, large leaves. Arrived packed with care. I can’t wait to watch her grow!
