Growing Notes

Bulbils on the leaf tips drop to the ground and root, creating a meandering colony of plants over time. They are easily propagated by throwing them around the garden or in pots.
This plant is also easily grown indoors in a sunny spot, though it will also tolerate a bright indirect exposure.
