| Hello! I recently purchased a tiny plant from a local garden shop and I need help identifying it! I didn't think to ask what it was when I bought it. It also didn't have any identifying tags on it other than specifying the price and approximate size (2 inches tall). The plant seems to resemble a mix between a fern and a shrub. It's about 2 inches tall, green in colour and has very tiny leaves (1mm in size) coming from seemingly translucent stems. It also appears to have stems/branches(?) Sticking out with no leaves, which hang down towards the soil. When I brought the plant home, it started drooping right away but repotted it and watered it, and it bounced back within the hour! Any help identifying it would be greatly appreciated.      |

| They are cool plants. The ONLY way I have ever managed to keep one alive, though, was in a clear glass cookie jar with the lid on. Keep it damp, provide high humidity, warm temperatures and shade. Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming...."WOW What a Ride!!" -Mark Frost Webmaster: osnnv.org |

| Ahhh thank you HamiltonSquare!! That makes a lot more sense! And thanks for the growing conditions suggestion Daisy! I'll definitely keep that in mind, depending on how it does in its current potting set-up.  |

| There's always this one that's very hard to kill unless your trying to. Goes from a dried up ball you can by and add moisture. Soon it turns green and unfurls into a beautiful flat rosette. Perfect for Easter. Hamilton Square Garden, Historic City Cemetery, Sacramento California. |
