Looked great out of the box and actually came with two plants :) I made a terrarium all three plants I ordered.

Received a nice large plant that turned out to be two plants with their own individual sets of roots. Experimenting with their preferences right now: One is indoors in a terrarium and one is outside getting dappled light – We will see how it goes!
