They shoot out stolon babies like a Spider plant and Epscias . By cutting these off and rooting each in its own pot gives you more plants to share and also encourages Mom plant to bbranch out another crown and bloom more. Most times this plant will open two flowers at one time , so the more crowns in the pot the more flowers. It like food and mositure , humidity and light . I have grown hundreds of plants from one little one I got now a few years ago ! I will most likly have more plants to share in Spring ! I have grown them into nice full 12 inch hanging pots very quickly ! Once your pot is full if you like you may let the stolons hang over the side of pots trailing and they will bloom also ! If you do a search in this forum you will find many threads with pictures and there is also a thread I wrote how to train your Cygnet ! The link was in the sticky but it's gone ?? I will try to find it for you ! |
