 I have been trying to grow this particular plant for nearly 15 years now. It roots very easily but had never grown more than six leaves without browning and dying.

Finally, I gave up with the very last plant, telling it "If you die, that's it! I'm not taking another cutting to ensure some part of you stays alive. Enough is enough."

Half a year later, the pic below that the very same mother plant is small, but still alive:

Not only that, but look at its babies, which are flourishing:

Sometimes, it seems, fussy plants just need a stern talking to.
