Very nice Bali. My mom used to always have these when I was growing up. I finally got one from a lady on freecycle that was giving away house plants. It was pretty raggedy looking. But now its getting new little starts on it. I am hoping it will bloom this year.

Can you just break those off and put them in the dirt and they will root? I dont know anything about them.
