Comments:
An eccellent indoor container plant that flowers from late winter into summer. After flowering new plantlets appear that develop from the stem where flowers once emerged. Their extra weight causes the stem to bend to the ground where the plantlets take root away from the parent or walk. "Apostle Plant" is derived from the belief that the plant will not flower until it has at least 12 leaves, the number of apostles of Jesus.
