I have been growing this plant in a pot in my lanai for about 3 years and it was doing very nicely, but was clearly ready to be given more space. Since I planted it in the ground in my yard it has tripled in size and is getting too big for my yard!!
I enjoy this rare and unusual plant which requires very little care and blooms frequently.

I have a small one of these for over a year now and it is so easy. I keep it inside where it has tolerated such neglect. As soon as I pay it a little attention like repotting it or fertilizing, it recovers and puts out tons of new growth.
