So I’m truly and 100% new at this but I got a Nep on eBay after seeing a few recommended and then scrolling through them for almost a whole day. I really wanted to get a slightly bigger one because this is also the first plant I’ve had that was so small. I hope I’m doing ok with it.

The seller lists it as Veitchi x Platychila x Bareo squat, but when it came it looks like it’s actually Veitchi Platychila x Veitchi Bareo Squat which seems like it would be a different thing altogether?
Anyhoo the day I got it -

I think the pinking up of the leaves is a good sign. For now I just have it under a humidity dome, and I’m trying to acclimate it to a little sunlight and fresh air during daytime. At night the humidity dome or when it’s off it gets spritzed a bunch. Tried to buy an actual mister, didn’t work out yet.
I’m not sure when I’m gonna be able to feel like I’m not gonna break it. I just love the candy striped ones and the one with the little squat pitchers.
I mean I found a lot of them that I love lol, but it’s probably a bit more expensive than I can afford unless I can actually baby the babies into healthy adolescents
Keep your head up! Comin at ya from zone 6a
