Looks healthy and happy despite the two leaves that were yellowing when I unpacked it. Just now slowly exposing it to direct sunlight. Excited to see a tiny new leaf coming out.

When it arrived it was defoliated. I did see some dead leaves in the box. I think it can still recover though.

The plants arrived a little scraggly from shipping (it is HOT here), but as soon as I watered them and let them rest under a covered porch, they leafed out immediately. Thank you!
