I’d like to get one! ## 6 comments ### FernB commented on 2026-07-17 I’ve had one before and later gifted it to my mother!! All I’ll say is look for one with new growth points (most of the time it’s rooted cuttings that haven’t grown leaves yet)/something established #### NewPlantMama replied on 2026-07-17 Thank you!! ### Brittany commented on 2026-07-18 I ordered from PlantVers on Etsy \& I’m pretty happy with what I got. It’s rooting very well \& you can see the next leaf forming on the most recent leaf, so that’s pretty exciting. ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/YeL30Kg5h0BMMs82rk1lYMYIdPExRXdt2ygXZlfuF1k/uo_K9YGpQ5Wxev8CtQjXcQ.webp?size=large) #### NewPlantMama replied on 2026-07-18 Oh wow this one looks fantastic. That’s the seller I’ve been looking at too. Thank you, it’s a beautiful plant! #### Brittany replied on 2026-07-18 I did have to repot it immediately. I ordered this, an aurea, and a mint \& those other 2 had leaves that browned halfway across because of overly moist soil. Just a heads up so you’re prepared to do that. OH! And it took 3 weeks for her to ship. It made me panicky, but I got them! Quite a few reviews mention this as well. #### NewPlantMama replied on 2026-07-18 3 weeks is so long! That would stress me out haha Thank you for the heads up! I saw another plant seller, shipping was 3-5 days but plants were much smaller. I’m a real novice so I might wait to see how I do but plants might be my new special interest lol --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com). Reading is open to everyone.
