Polka-Dot Plant
If you will be using this plant in a vivarium setting with animals, we recommend that all of the soil the plant comes with being washed off prior to placing the new plant in your vivarium. That way you will not accidentally bring any unwanted pests or bacteria into your setup.
If you live where the weather will be cold and frosty upon arrival, we recommend contacting us in advance so we can add a heat pack to your shipment. If you choose not to add the heat pack and your plant arrives damaged from the weather, no refund will be given.
