      Had never considered growing them yourself to be a possibility. Doesn't that take years per plant? Posted 4 years ago

        We grew them from pups, and it was fairly easy. They grew pretty fast with our hot, sunny summers. 6 months to a year to get fairly large. It has been so long that I may be wrong though haha! Posted 4 years ago

              Haha! Don’t try to distract me with your wit..Do you not propagate pups from succulents or air plants? Posted 4 years ago

                  Air plants are really cool. I have at least 20 different kinds. Some might be dead, though -- it's hard to tell, haha. I have some Spanish moss that is nearly 60 cm long, but it has been looking crunchy lately. Posted 4 years ago
