    I keep mine in self watering, ceramic violet pots. They're all grown under grow lights because my cacti hog all the natural light. I'm the only one in my plant circle who is in love with these plants; my friends don't understand. It's nice to see others on here who love them, too. I don't feel so alone. :D

    No one ever talks about these!!! I wonder why. Mine produces pink flowers from spring to fall 🤩 I have it under a grow light and it thrives. Yours is soooo beautiful.

    I just got this a few weeks ago & one came that's not looking too good. Thanks so much for this video, I'll change its soil as its not as fast draining. I love this plant. Also, those cuttings after 14 weeks are huge! I can't wait for mine to get bigger.

    I live in Tokyo. Long hot summers that can be humid and cold dry winters. My plants survive the winter well just in side the window next to the balcony. In winter there is a lot of sunshine. Few gray days. So I watch the plants to see the reaction. Philodendrons etc seems fine. So far.
