These are the cutest!

I fell in love with them instantly, and thus bought three. They have LOTS of leaves and little stems attached, which seemed a little confused in the packaging but started growing upwards towards the light upon planting. One leaf was dying but considering the other 2 on that plant were healthy, I'm not worried in the slightest. They're an excellent oddball plant and my new favorite.
