I bought a pink one from home depot for super cheap and in the car on the way home my sisters dog knocked off some branches, so I read about how to propagate them and now I have about 6 lil ones. My mom also gave me a cutting from her white one. I want every colour >=)
How many times have I knocked them over whilst trying to move around in my tiny greenhouse? You are right though kikithor, they are rather addictive. I started with one that a friend of mine gave to our daughter, who very kindly totally neglected it. When she moved into her own place she left it behind and in a very sad state. Took a while and plenty of TLC but eventually it turned into a nice healthy specimen and never fails with the flowers. I also have lots of new plants just starting from when I re-potted this year. I split them up as they were becoming rather large and I it is easier for me to arrange smaller pots in the greenhouse than large ones as at this time I have quite a lot of large plants in there and it's a constant battle trying to make space for them all. Luckily, I now have two outdoor shelters for the hardier plants, but I still seem to run out of room every year
You can see the shelters and more photos on my "Tiggy" page on fb which I created just for my own interests. Here's the link if you want to have a sneak.
