Update on previous review - "Beautiful plant but a bit challenging"
Update - After removing all the roots and the droopy flowers and securing a plastic bag around this little guy's pot to increase the humidity (I also kept it under a cheap growth light for 12h per day) for a little over a month, it has grown some new roots (at least enough to anchor it in its pot) and it even has some tiny developing flower buds! I didn't even have to use any rooting hormone, just kept the soil moist with diluted AV fertilizer. Hoping I can keep the plant healthy for a long time to come!
Beautiful plant but a bit challenging
I bought this plant after much success with my first AV. It was so little when I got it, but it already had a flower! It grew well for several months in a self-watering pot. The original flower died and it took forever to bloom again. When it finally bloomed, the flowers were droopy. I figured it may have had root rot, so I took it out of the pot and sure enough, all of the roots were rotten (which was probably more due to my inexperience than any fault with the plant when I got it). Had to cut all the roots off. The poor thing is now in recovery - I'm hoping it will put out some new roots. If it doesn't, I'll definitely buy another one because it's so gorgeous. Bottom line, if you buy this plant, make sure you're taking proper care of it (use the right kind of soil, use a self-watering pot, etc).
Excellent Foliage
I bought this plant in part because I loved the bloom, but more because I looked forward to the TL variegation. The foliage has not disappointed! It has been healthy, not too white or nonexistent, and hasn't required maintenance to correct problems. Propagates from a leaf easily as well.
Wow
This company has impeccable shipping/packaging/delivery timing and I am really really happy with the beauty of this plant. I would/will order again! Highly recommend!!!
Unusual bloom
I received this plant at a recent show. Blooms are unusual and as pictured. Foliage is lightly variegated but that could be to a young plant. A pleasing addition only to improve over time.
