Easy to grow and stays vibrant even in low light. I trimmed it weekly and used the cuttings to grow new plants. It’s a great starter plant for beginners.

The plant grows quickly and changes color depending on how much light it gets. I noticed it turned darker with more lighting. Needs regular trimming but worth it for the propagation.
