A friend of mine got one of these from clippings, and I got mine from clipping hers. From in the order of six 'stems' I've now got a immensely robust plant that's branched out all over the place despite only individual in a small container with perchance 3-4 cups of soil. It doesn't seem to need greatly of water or light to do unbelievably well, which I like like mad.
The leaves are darker green on top, fairly shiny and 'rubbery', and lighter green underneath. The one piece I don't like about it is that it points the more pleasant looking tops of the leaves towards the pane, away from the room.
Every once in a while it makes these really cool, trumpet-shaped flower clusters beside reddish 'plumes' coming out the middle. Both parts have little spikes adjectives over them. Not sure when/why it makes them, but these are the 1st two mine's made. If you know how I could encourage it to brand name more, that'd be great. Thanks for your time!

A picture would do wonders. From what you are clich¨¦ it may be a Christmas Cactus.
