AWWW Yes I just can't throw them away. Lots of sellers sell a small plant for 5.00 plus shipping and have seen them go much higher on Ebay. But you have to do what you have to do. I've givine hundreds of babies away.
Once I took 35 babies off of Mom and gave each their own pot ! I have a dozen or so that need pots now.
Now by taking off the stolons ( babies) Mom will branch off again in pot and she will also bloom more. I know mine needs light to hardly gets any :((
I need to start a new one and then have Robert rig a grow light over her !
Like my first plant her foliage was deep green and well behaved as I trained her good until she filled a 12 inch pot then I let babies hang down the babies will bloom too !
They only open two flowers at a time so you want your plant to trail and grow as many crowns as possible which she will do herself no pinhing needed just by removing babies !
I just love her flowers.
She is a real Treasure ! Always one of my favrites !
