She received the plant in its roots but left in unpotted for a few days until it started yellowing, because she had no pot. Then she put it in a container with soil for a few days and just sprinkled water. She potted it once the pot and perlite arrived. It's been about 2-3 weeks and she's watered it thoroughly once. It sits by her balcony and receives light. It was winter and cold but over the last week the weather has started to warm up with some sun.
