Eastern Leaf Braided Money Tree

My plant measures 12"!!! Tiny and so EXPENSIVE! The plant looks dead, leaves were shriveled and dead, the remaining leaves are yellow, so disappointed! How can they charge that for a plant that us only 12 with the pot that arrives almost dead?

Ordered specifically for the pot, didnt come w one in picture and it's cracked lol. Tree arived beat up and uneven. More of a thicker tree isnt even 12 in tall. 6 weeks later its yellowing and I gotta take him into a nursery or for sure lose him. Bad buy.
