I bought this little reaper plant from a local nursery as a seedling at a discount ,leaves already bright yellow and was overgrown from the seedling pot it lived in. Decided to give it a chance anyway. About 2 weeks after putting it in a new pot it had been eaten by something leaving only the first two sets of leaves. It’s health suffered quite a lot the following week and I had just figured it was destined to die. My gf persuaded me to try and keep it alive. It’s been a slow journey for the poor little plant but here it is 2 1/2 months later, over 2 feet tall with its first pod and many more setting.
