Meet Vivalda! She has turned her love of the Victorian era into a very successful fashion house. Specializing in copper fasteners and velvet fabric, Vivalda’s Steam Punk fashion designs reached the runways at New York Fashion week two years ago, and haven’t slowed down since. Her designs are in especially high demand thanks to the resurgence of tin type photography that has hit the hipster scene. Multiple celebrities have purchased items from her fall/winter line so their Christmas photos this year are ‘avant-garde’, and oh so different from everyone else.
We recommend planting this plug in our Aroid potting soil.
**IMPORTANT NOTE:
THIS PLANT SHIPS AS A 2″ FULLY ROOTED STARTER PLANT, AS SHOWN IN THE SECOND PHOTO. It will come wrapped in moss and tucked in a growers pot for safety. The terra cotta pot with the mature plant, shown in the first photo, is not included.
We root certain plants in sphagnum moss for greatest shipping success. When you go to repot your plant, carefully remove the growers pot and gently tease open the sphagnum and roots. If some sphagnum falls off, no worries! It can be discarded or added to your potting medium. If some stays attached to the roots, just let it be. Your roots will grow happily around it. We advise that you don’t overly mess with the roots, they don’t need to be picked clean. Questions? Message us!

Notes:
- Grows most vigorously in a bright, warm area (direct sun can cause leaf burn).
- Likes regular water, somewhat drought tolerant, never let the bottom of the pot sit in water! If leaves are turning yellow and falling off, it's likely over-watered.
- Wipe leaves with a damp cloth when they become dusty.
- Toxic to pets and people.
- Skill Level: Intermediate
