Dave Grigsby used to say of this and similar plants, that they grew at the
rate of rocks. i have had mine forever and i think it had one pup. in a HOT
greenhouse. in fact, i was amazed to see it offered for sale when it came
out, as i had seen the progress it was not making in Dave's private
greenhouse only oh, 14 years or so ago... and there are similar ones of
that body type, ditto the speed fctor!
