So far, So good
I sent this to my mom in Florida two months ago and so far it's been very healthy. Blooms won't come until next year but the plant itself is doing great.

Heleconia dying or dead
I planted it in the garden area. Shadow in morning but sun by noon and until 4:00 Miracle Grow and water regularly. Seemed healthy at first after planted. Progressively got weaker and weaker. Now just lays on the ground. Very disappointed.

On time and well packaged to protect.
Great plant. Important to follow planting instructions. It's small and appears a bit delicate but it is coming along nicely and I am sure will be wonderful next season.
