    PS.
    It has 4 (pups??) that need to be seperated from it, and it looks like it will need a bigger pot.

    At my work we have plants just like this except there more bigger and one has a (pup??) that needs to be seperated. I think the more light they get the more whighter the middle of the leaves get. Ill try and get a picture of the big one at work, because I think that there the same plant.

    Could be an honest mistake, but most likely someone in the store inadvertently swapped labels.

    THANK YOU!!!!! Blake, Michael & Saltcedar. You've just saved me Hours of research on this very plant. I'm taking plants from a local business, getting rid (or trying) of mealiy bugs, repoting, triming, and giving each plant a general rehab. I want to send each one back with a Botanical & Common name and care & feeding instructions. I was about to try to find which Deff. this was and you saved me the time and effort. This guy has many plants in his business and not clue what to do except to water them and not much time to do even that. So, since I have some knowledge and lots of time this I my neighborly service. barb
