Mine was severly dehydrated when it arrived. There was a reschedule of delivery as I remember. Took major surgery to stop choking and black rot. It's still alive and potted, but lost a bunch of leaves due to the recent cold snaps in S Fla. Even though it went in the garage with the other potted ones - 4 times ----- man, what a winter we had in S Fla this year!!!

Went from 4 ft long to 6 inches of green/brown mushy growth 2 months after potting. Brought it back slowly with minimal water and vermeeeeeeeecompost!! Then came the cold. When I get sick I'll have a bag vermee nearby to sniff at now and then.

Recent repotting and application of Vermicompost and K-Mag look promising. It's now at 5 ft and slowly growing a second good big leaf. Recent warmer weather and time will tell. Hoping for the best.
