Gardening is like cooking. To improve, you need to be willing to make mistakes and experiment. Also, common names are garbage. Zone 9b, West Sac, CA.

Not quite sure why Ats gave this plant to me. I was with her when she bought it at Trader Joe's and it was doing okay with her. Then she decided to dump it on me and I wasn't ready to take care of another non-succulent. (Being prone to depression, I love plants that thrive on neglect!) I let it get a little too dry and it immediately got crispy. Apparently, #Breynia-disticha needs constantly moist soil. Once I'd realized that, it recovered nicely.

Had a few casualties when I went on vacation a few weeks ago. My roommates didn't water some of the non-succulents (#LotusBerthelotii, #EucalyptusCinerea, #SalviaGreggii, #Sarracenia-ScarletBelle, and my #mossgarden) and they dried up to the point of no return. I watered them a few times, but only this #Breynia-disticha rewarded me with signs of life. 27July2019
Important note: This plant is frequently confused with people from Hawaii who are familiar with the 43rd U.S. president.
Geddit? Hawaiians know Bush! I kill myself.
