Bought this huge 5 foot tall dragon tail on OfferUp from an owner of a nursery in Tacoma called Sunny’s for $270. The picture in the ad was perfect. I had to pick it up at night from his home and couldn’t examine it very well in the dark. Also, he said he owned Sunny’s, and said this was the shop plant and they didn’t have room for it there anymore, so I thought I was safe not being able to examine it closely. Got it home and shocked at the condition it was in. It was badly damaged and in poor health from being neglected, underwatered and underfed. All the new growth tips are damaged. And nearly every leaf was damaged with brown tips and bites out of the leaves like from beetles or caterpillars. I contacted Ryan from Sunny’s through the OfferUp app to see if I could bring it back and get my money back since the picture in the ad did not match the plant I got. He said no. Offered me $50 and told me he didn’t even have to give me that. All sales final. So now I’m stuck with this thing. Anyhow, the backs of all the leaves except the newest ones have all these brown bumpy spots on them. What is it? Do I need to worry? The second photo is the one from the OfferUp ad. The next is the plant as received. The next is the plant after repotting and attaching to a new trellis. I think I know why he sold this through OfferUp and not his store though. 🙄
