I think there were 5? It will be interesting to see how many the plant yields when it goes sleepy and needs sorting out again.

I cant get that going. Twice, with the first try a quick death and the second? Every spring it sends a paltry 4-5 leaves..and those fade as summer goes into warmth.
I don't know whats missing. I did see a photo of it thriving in San Diego in part shade with much water. Shocking!

Mine does better indoors as a house plant . Life outdoors is harder as the temp. goes up and down, too much rain, a cold spell and the WIND !!Aaaagh.
