My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Tropical Plant Identification

Does anyone know what this is? I bought it in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia and am trying to work out how I should care for it. Thanks.

    Many thanks. After a bit more research I think its more likely to be a Thaumatococcus Daniellii. It doesn't have the silvery underleaf of the Calathea Luthea . Graham
