Additional Information: From: Williams Nursery. Merritt, NC.

Recovered off springs in 2012 from Paula Beattie- from same original plant.

A tiny plant grows rapidly creating thousands of plants at the tip of it’s leaves. Plants drop easily already with tiny roots that anchor anywhere.

Withstand many conditions,wet to dry,hot or cold, but not freeze.

Replaced the mother plant with many off springs, share them with friend. Dec. 2012, left with no plants I have obtained 2 tiny plants from my friend Paula Beattie. Off springs are  from my original plant.

HEIGHT X SPREAD: 2-3 ft. x 2 ft. PLANT TYPE: Succulent/Evergreen GROWTH RATE: fast TEXTURE: coarse LIGHT: Full sun WATER: tolerates many conditions SOIL: cactus mix or potting mix.
As observed in Coastal NC. BLOOMS: many off spring plants at tip of leaves FRUIT AND SEED: propagate from off spring plants that grow along the edge of the leaves, thousands. KEY FEATURES: size can be control by pot size and watering. Plants when overgrown can easily be replace by the fast growing constant supply of off springs.
A year cycle in the life of ...... at Mooring Hitch Many plants over the years, replaced by off-springs as the size and space to keep them changes. Dec. 2012, having discarded /lost all plants. I requested a off spring from my friend Paula Beattie which has kept alive one of my off springs fro years. She happily obliged: two tiny plants.
