Jeff had some in birch bark baskets, but they were bigger and accustomed to the right kind of care

This is the one I bought - Small plants that will learn how to tough it out and hopefully live through Christmas

As one who has to take care of these plants for my clients, my advice is to touch the soil EVERY, day if it starts to feel dry, give them some water. Points. are a pain to keep alive they suck a lot of water! If the plant wilts, and doesn't get watered within a day you might as well toss it in the trash. But they do liven up a room! Good luck
