This grows from stolens under the soil. All stolens of San. are ediable. The leaves are dark green round and pointed at the apex. Easy to grow if given soil and drains fast. Little care, light fertilizer when the weather is warm.
There are two forms, one extremely tall, the other very short, like people. Of course they like the same temperatures that we enjoy. 60-90 degrees F. If kept in the house you may water weekly, they will enjoy good light, but do not burn the plant in a hot western exposed window.
All true species will produce plants from the leaves set in a very shallow pot until rooted. Always underpot Sans.
