Review: Fast Grower! - Feed Me Seymour! This is the faster grower I’ve ever cared for. It barely finishes popping up a new leaf and then the next one is breaking out already. The original leaves both dropped when I got it, but I kept watering it and then eventually repotted when I saw roots growing through the drainage holes. Put it next to my AeroGarden for some ambient light. It usually will drop the oldest leaf when a new one comes in, but it has slowly gone from supporting 2 leaves to 4 leaves now. It’s been about 6 months and the leaves are getting HUGE now. Very pretty plant, worried I might need to repot again before next winter. Keep the soil boggy, think of it growing next to a pond.
Review: Could not revive it - This is beautiful. I bought it simultaneously with a stingray from this seller. Well packaged but it is so small, (only 1 leaf seedling) that it did not survive transportation. The bulb was in good condition. I hoped it would regrow. It eventually did give me a tiny shoot a few months later. It soon died. I gave it the suggested care and conditions, but this plant requires a level of care when it's a seedling, that not even optimal home conditions with grow lights, temperature adjustments, and a humidifier can keep it alive. The stingray survived and is thriving,

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast Grower!
*by J***D on March 7, 2022*

Feed Me Seymour! This is the faster grower I’ve ever cared for. It barely finishes popping up a new leaf and then the next one is breaking out already. The original leaves both dropped when I got it, but I kept watering it and then eventually repotted when I saw roots growing through the drainage holes. Put it next to my AeroGarden for some ambient light. It usually will drop the oldest leaf when a new one comes in, but it has slowly gone from supporting 2 leaves to 4 leaves now. It’s been about 6 months and the leaves are getting HUGE now. Very pretty plant, worried I might need to repot again before next winter. Keep the soil boggy, think of it growing next to a pond.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Arrived and Thrived!
*by A***R on January 5, 2024*

A lot of people don’t know what a juvenile plant looks like; please don’t let them scare you away from getting this plant. Similarly, they don’t know what shipping stress is either. I’m genuinely glad I tried this seller out, because I received a cute little friend in some pretty neat packaging. I got what was exactly as advertised: a “baby” black coral elephant ear. Expect it to be small, and don’t expect it to be jet black right out of the box. The poor thing has been through shipping, and less sun = less black and more green. Pot her up immediately, give her quality grow lights or really good sunshine, and she WILL turn black and start growing more leaves. I unpacked a perfectly healthy elephant ear child who was a roughly darkish green color due to age and lack of sun, quickly darkening up within three days of delivery and full sun exposure. Please note that my photos are after a month of having this little friend in some good summer sun, and a few drinks of nitrogen rich fertilizer. The leaves become glossier as the plant ages, giving you that classic black coral look. While young, the leaves will be more matte like in my photos; I took them when my little guy was still getting there. The first two original leaves died off after being replaced by new ones, and are not in my photos. Again, this was expected as the plant went through the stress of shipping. For some reason, a lot of people don’t understand this either. LEAVES WILL DIE. AND BE REPLACED. Your plants need love, sunshine, water, and time! Dieback is normal! Overall, I’m really happy I tried this seller, because I literally got what I wanted and paid for. I plan on ordering a black magic too as I ended up really liking the matte look the young black coral leaves gave off, but will probably wait until spring.
