Omg this plant was huge for being a small! I’ve had it for a week now, seems to be doing well so far.

I'm not usually a review person, so forgive me if this reads a little odd. Anyway.
I absolutely love my new plant! I could tell it was really well cared for before it got to me and packaged to ensure it stayed that way while en route! It has been doing very well, super healthy and easy to care for, and I was able to repot it with no problems (thanks to a bag of Rooted's organic potting mix and their stellar advice team). Oh, and speaking of their advice team- I reached out to them with questions regarding my new little plant friend, and they were SO helpful! I know my questions were probably a little silly, being both an absolute newbie and an overly-anxious person regarding just about anything, but they were incredibly kind and able to help and offer advice on everything I asked! Five stars all the way, I will totally be buying more plants from them again!
I have included some pictures of my new plant as well- rest assured, this is not it's permanent spot, as my partner and I are in the middle of moving (+very minor house renovations at the new place), and the plant gets moved around a lot as a result. You can also see another Rooted box in the second picture, because of course I had to go and order a bunch of supplies for my new little green buddy, haha!

It is my first plant that moves its leaves during the day. And it is so amazing! Also, it doesn't need a lot of light and not a lot of care so far. I really like it!
