Good job you did not wait for me. I had no ideas, not very well up on indoor plants.

Well done FC! I don't know much about houseplants either - usually they end up in my compost bin! Did you buy it from the 'outside section' of the plants, The witch? Did they not inform you that it was a conservatory plant? That seems a bit misleading......  |

Aw, too late but well done FC. That is one plant I could've named too as I bought a couple from B&Q last year and kept them out in our courtyard all over Winter. I thought the chickens had finished them off but I dug them up and put them into pots anyway and hey! Up they came this year and are now sunning themselves in troughs way up high away from the hens! I always assumed they were outdoor plants but I suppose we get away with a lot dahhhhhn saaaaath here I've either read that they are short-lived or maybe it was the B&Q label that said they last for one season but whatever it's not true, they're a lot tougher than I thought. Incidentally I have several plants bought from B&Q which return year after year that they say on the label lasts for one season. |
