| antsinmypants - Illinois (IL) (Zone 5b) | On Apr 17, 2024 | Plant emerged I purchased the cutting with only one leaf on it. The leaf fell off shortly after & I was left with a short twisted stem & I couldn't tell which end was which so I planted it sideways. 11 months later & it has new growth on both ends. |

| Hagbard - Brooklyn, NY, 11231 (Zone 6b) | On Mar 30, 2017 | Obtained plant Purchased 3 from Hirt's Gardens, an online distributor, in late March. All three were in excellent shape and as of 11th September, and have grown to 3-4 times their original size - I've already started a bunch of cuttings so I can give them out as gifts, since even someone with a brown thumb could take care of them, and they're more interesting than the standard green heart-leaf philo. |
