The good it does: tropical escapism · uplifting statement.
Ships Monday to Friday · replaced free if it arrives less than well
How to keep it happy
Bright light with several hours of direct sun, the more light, the better. Water when the top inch dries and wipe the big leaves. Give it room; it rarely flowers indoors but earns its keep on foliage alone.
