Notes	A plant that not even I can kill, the bunches immediately started growing and sending out side shoots. I had originally planted several stems in a front corner, not really knowing what to expect of it. It grew like mad, so I eventually pushed it to the back corner, and took several cuttings to place along more of the back of the tank. It continues to grow very well, and has reached a very bushy foot tall.
