Friends say I have a great sense of humor and my handsome, lobed, rounded leaves are my best feature. My colors are those of a desert sunset: bronze, orange, purple, rose pink, and maroon. The cooler it gets, the more intense I become. Perhaps you will understand why. I am sincere, tolerant of heat, and very undemanding. No games please.

Rules of Thumb for Overwintering Plants Indoors: 1. Choose only healthy plants 2. Bring Plants indoors before frost damages foliage 3. Treat for disease and insects before bringing plants indoors 4. Place in bright areas and add humidity using pebble trays or spray bottles 5. Be careful not to over water 6 When active growth starts in spring fertilize and prune as needed 7. Introduce your plants slowly to outdoor conditions in spring |
