I love these little flowers, this was a cutting from one my son bought my mother when he was 6 (he's 27 now!!!) she has taken cuttings over the years from the original one. Very easy to propagate just break of a leaf and stick it in water, roots soon appear!!

do you feed it? i feed mine from spring to the end of summer with baby bio only water when dry try not to get water on the leaves they hate it. my mums are on an east facing windowsill so are mine. i think she waters hers from the bottom.

Ah, east facing windowsill, Lori mentioned that too. No I haven't fed it but will get some Baby Bio for it, I have it stood on pebbles which I keep damp.
