I just wanted to brag on this plant. I got it in July where I’ve actually neglected it a bit, but it has thrived and given me such massive leaves and so much new growth. It had one leaf and one that was starting to unfurl when I got it and it has just done incredible. It’s given me 5 new leaves and that is absolutely massive since July. New pictures were taken today and hand picture for size reference.

Unfortunately it’s not doing so well now. A cold wave rolled in and I lost nearly all the leaves. I’m hoping it will recover to its former glory
