    What a beautiful little plant this is, particularly at this time of year when the new leaf appears. Having said that, it retains that beauty throughout the year. This one has been in a pot for maybe 20 years and has remained small without any attention

      That's a good strong specimen you've got there Sam. Do you feed it at all?

      I seldom feed anything Jenny .... once planted they must look after themselves as in nature :)

      It does look good Sam. :) I've noticed them all round the island here and they look particularly good this year.

      That is a great looking plant. I bought mine , a tiny one, a year ago and its growing slow. Hope it looks as good as yours in time.
