Care Notes: When watering plants, water should be as close to room temperature as available. Sensitive to root rot, avoid overwatering or allowing plants to sit in soggy soil. Bottom watering preferred to avoid water on the leaves. Being sensitive to overwatering and high humidity, this plant is best suited for tarantulas, scorpions, and other invertebrates, as well as day geckos, fat tail geckos, and other herps with a small size and moderate humidity needs.
Shipping Notes:
As a good practice, Josh's Frogs recommends washing all plants thoroughly removing as much soil as possible with dechlorinated water before placing them in their final home. Live plants may vary in color, size, and appearance.

I ordered two of these and they're adorable! One is the blueish-purple color that I picture when I think of violets, the other is a really cool burgundy-red. They're a bit smushy from shipping, not Josh's Frog's fault (they were well packed/insulated), UPS mangled the box. They'll be fine after a trim (I am rooting the leaves with broken stems, so bonus!) and some time to perk back up.

I ordered two and they were both bright green and beautiful; neither one looked the same so it was nice to get variety between the two!

Came bright and green and in great condition, defiantly grew nicely and my crested gecko absolutely loves this beautiful plant!
