Rating for this plant:
A funny thing I noticed when propogating from the stem cuttings. the cutting seems to do much better if you leave it in the same pot as the "mother"... as though it's going through a weaning stage. Once the cutting gets about 5-6 inches... you can transplant it with no problems.
