I've killed it a few times but think that feat would be more impressive if I had knocked off a Centipede Tongavine. The taxonomists may change the names, but can't make them live.<br /><br />Money plant?

It occurs to me now, the reason I can never remember the name of this plant, when I kept one for years back in the 80s, is that everyone I asked told me something different!Scattered Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09036280727246164559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31803386.post-26582286683180719532009-07-29T16:58:02.863+02:002009-07-29T16:58:02.863+02:00Coleus will do for me!Coleus will do for me!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11430236104525571846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31803386.post-22605231966343421832009-07-29T03:49:52.260+02:002009-07-29T03:49:52.260+02:00I'm with you on Coleus -- so much easier.

Just wanted to say that in India we call this one as 'money plant' :)<br /><br />I love it, mom had it growing on a huge wall when i was a kid. I grow it in water as well as soil pot.<br /><br />~Taramindspacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11767622341788704109noreply@blogger.com
