This particular plant has an interesting background, but we'll save the details for another day. Essentially, another rescue situation wherein the plant was received as a gift and neglected, I took it in with Open Arms (Mariah Carey song)!

I used some potting soil left over from a previous mix to fill in the space of the upgraded pot. Of course, I laid in a layer of stones. This time it was probably about 1" deep, and I'm actually using river stones as I ran out of my river rock, which is a little more jagged, finer pieces and less aesthetic. I don't end up using these more "glamorous" rocks like I thought I might, so I figured I might as well put them to some use!

I believe this rascal will do well in low light or indirect lighting conditions. I imagine its watering requirements are akin to my palm - it likes to be moist, but not drenched, and probably dries out pretty easily - I mean look at all those stems! This will be the first plant I have ever had to actually maintain a braid with, so that will be an interesting challenge, but I'm hoping to get this sucker to grow several feet tall so it becomes a floor plant. We'll see how long that takes!
