One of the most intertesting features of this plant is it's bloom. When watered or disturbed, the flower buds(which form in clusters)start "exploding" in rapid sequence, shooting off little clouds of pollen that look like
puffs of smoke. Quite remarkable to observe in person.

Pellionia are frost-tender creeping perennials found from Vietnam to Malaysia and Burma. Plants can be grown in containers as well as hanging baskets and also do well in terrariums. They require heat and humidity, bright light but no direct sunlight. Keep moist but not wet. This plant can be propagated by stem cuttings.
