Thriving!
I bought this plant in November 2022, and as of June 2023, it's still thriving! I had one issue with brown tips of the leaves, did a little research, and realized I was underwatering it. Now I use a moisture meter to check the soil 2 inches below the surface. When it's dry, I give it 4 cups of water. That seems to have solved the issue for me. New stems and leaves are coming up, and the plant looks very happy! I like it so much I'm about to order a second one!
