regarding this fuzzy plant that you are talking about. I was in a laundry mat a couple months ago, they had two of these plants hanging on the inside of the laundry mat. They cut a piece of each one for me. I took them home and put them in water and set them in the kitchen window, where they they receive the morning sun hoping to root them (just the end of the plant piece not the whole plant), They now have white roots on them and there is at least an inch of the fuzzy tail. I believe its time to pot them. They will stay in the house now that it is cold here, hopefully by spring, I will have a nice fuzzy tail plant. I absolutely believe these are the most interesting plants I have seen. I had never seen one until I just so happen to go to the laundry mat that day.
