I bought the first one for my niece years ago because she liked the pink flowers at the time knowing nothing about Av's. She was so young and didn't want it by the time our visit was over and gave it to me (smart kid) and it was a roller coaster ride. I like a lot of people who know nothing almost killed it several times with love and then I just said forget it and refused to look at it and the next time I glanced it's way it was full of flowers and just thriving. So lesson learned this plant knows what it's doing!

I never thought of buying leaves that seems to be a gamble since about 80% my cuttings die for one reason or another. I have about 5 rooting from the stalk I think I will try the leaf method just to see how that will go.
Plants just make
everything better.
