    • Purchased 2 of these earlier this year from Lowe's. The shininess of the leaves is what caught my eye. So far, the plants are doing well. Hope that they keep thriving!

    • Plant looks really shiny and healthy, seems to be doing really well so far! Still yet to see how it performs long term but so far I’ve been impressed. It gets white disc shaped blooms that have a light fragrance if you smell the blooms.
