This plant is very very awesome! Although its been hard to grow, sometimes, I find the little leaves just falling off daily. The color is amazing, and it seems to grow pretty fast. I am thinking about giving it to my friend who has a greenhouse, and I hope it will do better there. I rarely see this, but I have seen it at Home Depot, mixed in with the house plants.
