It was really pretty foliage-wise as well, so I thought it would make a nice office plant. It's a tough little bugger. Not thriving like yours, but it's had a massive and uncontrollable aphid infection for several months. It gets a daily soap bath, but I still can't keep up with the things. However, it's still alive, if a little less happy-looking. I'm hoping that as the days grow longer and it gets more sun it'll be better able to fight them off. Together we'll reach victory over the aphids! Chad A Gard INCHASE: <http://www.inchase.org> PercussionAdvocates: <http://www.percussionadvocates.com>
