Does Laravel Vapor requires PHP 7.3+?

I am so confused about Laravel Vapor requirements.

Vapor requires that your application be compatible with PHP 7.3+ and Laravel 6.0+.

Laravel 6+ is required and Laravel 6 requires >= PHP 7.2

What does your application be compatible with PHP 7.3+ mean?

Can my Laravel 6+ project (using PHP 7.2 on local server) work with Laravel Vapor?

Vapor works a bit different than running PHP on a server. It builds an image of your application which only works for a specific PHP version. In this case that is PHP 7.3 or PHP 7.4. You're required to run PHP7.3 in this case. Most applications that run PHP 7.2 are also compatible with PHP 7.3, so I think you're good to go anyway :)
