This plant can grow only as a houseplant where I live, but what a tough little plant it is! They will tolerate a very broad range of lighting, are nearly impossible to kill, and they multiply steadily. I repot mine every 2 years or so, and always sever and repot most of the baby plants that have sprouted up.

These plants are very easy to grow and multiply rapidly. Good results are obtained by planting in window boxes after danger of frost and bringing them inside during the winter and water about once weekly. During summer months they require more water and will grow best in part shade. They make good house plants tolerating low light and neglect.
