This plant grows under bad conditions especially when hot or cold. I would reccommend planting it in an area around a tree or with other large plants or it will look great by itself. It is hard to kill so plant it somewhere you want it to stay for a long time. The sections can be broken off to grow new plants. It is very interesting.
1 live plant with roots will be sent to the highest bidder in a bubble mailer.
This plant will stay alive in a jar of water indoors or planted inside or outside, an easy way to add color to your garden!
