Default I got my Variegated Florida!

I bought a Variegated Florida! After chatting with several people and doing research online comparing the differences between Ae Ae and Variegated Florida I decided to buy both. I'm hoping I can keep one of these alive to pup and fruit. I created a thread covering my Ae Ae here

I got my AeAe!

and I plan on documenting my success or failure with my Variegated Florida here.

After trying to buy a plant from Ty or Keith I had to go to Ebay. To put it lightly I feel ripped off and I'm not happy at all with the plant I received. The listing said that the plant was going to be in a one gallon pot and it would be 1-2' high. That part was true. The part I wasn't happy about was that the listing showed a plant with three leaves and said it was a "FULLY ESTABLISHED ROOTED- BANANA". What I received was a pup freshly removed from the mother plant that had only one full size leaf and one small leaf. I wasn't happy. After emailing the seller he agreed to take the plant back and that he would pay for return shipping. But after looking online I don't have a lot of options to replace this plant so I decided to keep it. I should have known better. Don't buy off Ebay if you can buy from sellers here on the forum.

Here is the picture from the Ebay listing.



Here is what I received.



I'll keep you guys posted as to how this plant does.
