It grows slower than the green version but it certainly adds a lot of colour in your garden.<br /><br />If you intend to buy this plant from a nursery - do take the time to change the soil of the plant after a weeks time when the plant had accustomed to your garden.<br />James Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423981835876393119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901937196017931930.post-32686179796911709582013-06-08T17:36:31.629+08:002013-06-08T17:36:31.629+08:00Hello, James!

I was once worried about mealy bugs but I was told spraying them with soap and water would help to get rid of mealy bugs and eventually it did work! :-)hardinarshttp://simplegardenthoughts.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901937196017931930.post-77660836288795534352013-06-07T21:04:42.749+08:002013-06-07T21:04:42.749+08:00Lovely plants.

The new varieties (the red leaf ones)are rather expensive ane prone to mealy bugs infestation which I can do without. So, I still do not have them but have all the rest as shown in your post.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01083409767851425580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901937196017931930.post-45655285048681181412013-06-07T20:25:39.738+08:002013-06-07T20:25:39.738+08:00Hi James, It's interesting that we overcome ou...Hi James, It's interesting that we overcome our prejudices towards certain plants and see them with a fresh eye.

I like it primarily for the colour. It brightens my porch more than other plants. When it grows leggy, I cut the stem and let it re-grow again. They grow so so slowly. Still, like you said it is a good plant to have. Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05867061279916535777noreply@blogger.com
