Thanks everyone! Just gave the two some watering and some spritz on the leaves this morning.
I plan to keep them alone in their containers, seeing the mature plants in the store, it seems better alone with its wide leaves.
It was so much fun circling around the clearance rack, and moving away for awhile to continue shopping other stuff, and also to test if I really want it..then went back to the rack, and I still want it..so off they came with me.
Usually, I try not to buy new plants at this time of the year..but these two are just winking at me..and that price is really wallet friendly.
Thanks Tara about the cooler temps heads up..I am thinking about that. We still have good day temps right now but it is hovering now to 48-50 at night outdoors. And we do get the occasional hard freeze 20's during winter. I do really want to put it in a corner spot near our house..but not sure how it will adapt right now, so maybe I will let it grow indoors for now this Fall to Winter. And just move it out in Spring.
Something I see on the leaves, like the midrib is separating..or is that how it makes new leaves? Took a photo, a little blurred but you can see that faint thread like growth coming from the leaf.
I wonder if this plant will behave similar to what my Schefflera plants do. My Scheffleras are outdoors year round in part sun/part shade and ably survives our winters and super dry conditions in summer. So many questions...oh well..will see how it goes.
