I found one of these at Kmart a year ago. It has lived happily in a pot in my living room ever since; medium light and medium watering. It just gets bigger and curlier....I love it. Mine is the only one I have ever seen anywhere around here or anywhere. ChuLin in mid-Wisconsin

This is totally one of the cutest plants ever. The leaves look like curling ribbon and everyone who sees it has to touch it! Unfortunately, after I planted one in the ground two years back I found out the hard way that it's not hardy in Chicago. However, it is easy to grow in a pot and bring inside during the winter months.

I got this plant in Summer 2006, skeptic that it would retain its curls. Well it has! Very lovely plant. Mine is planted in a pot, mostly sun, average water.
