I've got several houseplants which really do demand care. Don't water them and they get all wilty. In fact they’ll die for lack of attention. This plant was a gift of condolence when my mom died in 2001. How can I not water it? It’s amazing how it thrives. It is probably 3 times bigger than when I got it and it continues to flower after all these years. I think it’s her light shining through and appreciating my care.
