I LIKED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PRAYER PLANT. I USED IT IN MY KITCHEN. BUT IT DID NOT LIKE THAT SPOT. I USED IT IN THE LIVING ROOM, IT DID NOT LIKE THAT SPOT. THAT WAS THE ONLY PLACES I HAD FOR LIGHT. AS SOON AS I GOT IT IN THE MAIL, IT STARTED DRYING UP REAL QUICK, AND I MEAN QUICK. I LIKED IT VERY MUCH, BUT IT DID NOT LIKE MY HOUSE. SO AFTER A FEW DAYS, IT DRIED UP REAL BAD, I THREW IT OUT. NO MORE PRAYER PLANTS IN MY HOUSE EVER. IT CAME VERY HEALTHY LOOKING ,NICE POT, LOTS OF DIRT, VERY HEALTHY LOOKING. BUT IT WAS MY HOUSE. DEEWhat can I say, ordering houseplants online seems like a really odd thing to do, but when you are a busy mama and a crazy plant person in need of greenery the idea of ordering a plant from Amazon starts to seem a little less odd. This plant arrived looking happy & healthy, and has continued to grow & thrive in our home. If you’re considering purchasing this plant but feel unsure as I did I’m telling you go for it! Just order it already & you’ll be happy to have new addition to your plant family!L O V E this plant. I was a little worried about it due to bad reviews, but it came three days early (so two day shipping) and was packaged amazingly. It's be putting off new growth almost non stop, everyday I seem to see a new leaf popping out. The only not so good thing is one leaf was cut in half, I think it gives it character so I don't mind, and it's just one leaf, so who cares?(Yellow leaf is just a leaf I got way too much water on and left unknowingly, so it died. Not how I received my plant.)Plant came faster than expected neatly packaged in an oversized box with plenty of foam peanuts. None of the branches were broken or dead on arrival. The plant dirt, even though it was wrapped in paper, was a little all over the place but this was to be expected (it did come in the mail). Overall the plant is doing great, it definitely needed light after arrival and I put mine right under a grow light to make up for the few days it spent in a box. Plant was good size and in a decent pot, although I took the hangar off since it was bent from being in the box.This plant exceeded my expectations! I have ordered a houseplant before that did not do so well,but decided to give it one more try,ordering online. It came to me in great condition with a knew leave ready to start opening. In the short time I've had it 3 more leaves have sprouted. I wasnt sure how it would do as the plant calls for high humidity and its early spring in the northeast..it's doing great and i love the variegated leaves. Six months later and it's still growing like crazy. I didn't realize that flowers too. Little purple flowers, very pretty.The plant was wrapped and packaged nicely. I'm assuming it got stuck in cold weather on its way south to me. Lesson learned to not order tropical plants in February.Plant came healthy, but I did not think it worth $25. ( I wouldn’t have purchased if I knew that’s the size) It’s a very small plant, not at all as the picture the posted. Very disappointed. Could have purchased one thus size at my local nursery for $12.
