It arrived via express mail from Brisbane, beautifully packaged. Surprised it had some foliage already. After potting up in potting mix with plenty of perlite, it continued to grow vigorously, as if nothing had changed. Very happy on the kitchen sink under the window ledge, where I can keep an eye on it. I'm very happy too.
