Re: Snow!/rescued plants

Andrea, 
My Goldfish Plant from Lowe's was marked Nematanthus nervosus.  This plant
is SO easy.  If some of the brances are broken, prune them off.  Mine likes
a fair amount of water, but the tag cautions to allow soil to dry between
waterings.  I got mine last October and it took about a month b4 it put out
flowers that looked nothing like Goldfish, however the suceeding batch of
flowers in January  were very fishy.  The branches grew long, so I pruned
them about a month ago and stuck the cuttings.  Today I just potted up all
the cuttings.
