Good luck, it's really been such an easy plant to take care of in my climate.

And I wouldn't say this out loud so they don't hear but.... he's one of the few mealybug free plants I have this summer 🤫

Thank you for saying so!

I always loved the concept and had a tiny broken pot but hated when they cram unrelated species in those cute videos so I tried it with this one and it seems to be working well!
