This plant has been through the mill. It's 25 years old (yes 25). It belonged to my father in South Florida and was much larger and fuller before he passed in 1995. I brought it to north Florida, hung it out back and sort of forgot about it. After several winters and freezes it was barely there. But, every spring, a little bit of new growth would show up. I finally rescued it and put it in a fern basket several years ago. Now it thrives and I bring it indoors on freeze nights. It would not give up on me so I finally decided I would not give up on it!
