Plant quality

The plant was delivered with round spots on the leaves. It is winter in Florida however, we will try to see if the plant recovers. If not, we would expect a new plant or a refund. The plant was delivered in January and we were told to give it time and given suggestions on what to do. That is appreciated, but I’m hoping that we will not have a fight if the plant doesn’t survive after we do the suggested things to keep it alive.
