A friend gifted me a very small and decorative pot, which gave me a great excuse to buy a new plant. To my surprise and delight, this plant was way too large for the pot! I’ll have to find a different plant and a different pot now. When the plant came in, a dozen or more leaves had dropped during shipping despite the careful packaging. This wasn’t the fault of the grower, just how the plant reacted to the experience. However, despite all the leaves lost in shipping and acclimation, the plant remained bushy as ever. It looked as if it hadn’t lost any leaves at all, it was still soo bushy! In less than a month it has put on new growth and has started to trail out of its nursery pot. I’m growing it in a low light north window and it’s doing well, putting on new growth, etc. The leaves have stopped dropping, so while it shed a lot initially, now that it’s acclimated I don’t think that shedding will be a long-term problem the way it is with some ferns. I’m very happy with my purchase.
