I bought this plant over a year ago and it was in a 2 inch pot and very expensive. It gets mites easily and never has more than 2 leaves on it at one time. It now has about a 6 inch stalk from all the dead leaves. The leaves are still very small, just a few inches long. I admit, I am not the best EE grower but I usually do a bit better than this.
