Through the warm months it sends out long, wiry stems carrying small white flowers and baby plantlets that hang around the pot.

It copes with lower light, growing more slowly and making fewer plantlets. Outdoors, keep it in shade or dappled light and away from frost, which damages the leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePotting mix.\u003c\/strong\u003e Use a free-draining premium potting mix.
