The leaves are really strong and upright yet the plant itself has a really delicate appearance. The subtle green dashes really shine through the dark green and silvery leaves
This plant is so cute! The way the bright green shows up on the leaves does look like the aurora borealis. Very good packaging.
Came healthy and happy after a water and unwrap. It's not as green as I hoped. Only one leaf, but hoping it gets there as it matures.
