              Thank you!

              I took on my plot last week and it was found happily growing away in the middle of my rather exposed and neglected plot. Interesting that it is an indoor plant, and still alive!

              ETA: Oooh, i'll bring it home tomorrow then, I've got just the spot for it

                  all plants were originally outdoors plants...

                  I tried to kill mine several times but it kept coming back - they are perfectly fine outside...
