Sweet, I've heard it's quite tricky to grow. Is that true? Did you encounter any difficulties?

Main problem that roots need water every time but crown can rot easily. It needs very strong air movement, from spring to fall everything is okay, but wintertime is very hard here, every reminescent water on leaves leads to fatal rot.

Never tried.Basket is excellent for micranthum and armeniacum papis, but i think useless for this frag. Vittatum does not tolarate any driness.....
