💡 Care Tip: Gently unpack the plant immediately after arrival and place it in a warm, bright location with partial shade while it acclimates. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist. Avoid exposing a newly shipped plant to harsh afternoon sun until it has recovered from shipping stress. Some leaf curling or minor discoloration may occur during transit and is usually temporary. Warm temperatures, good light, moisture, and regular feeding during the growing season will encourage vigorous growth and help develop stronger stem coloration.
