    Maryk,
    Salt cedar is right. but this plant has an upright growth patern, not a trailing vine. The plant I slipped mine from was about 3 ft tall and 2 ft around, multi stemed, and grew in a large terracotta pot on a hotel patio in Cabo San Lucas. (I did this yrs ago before the Plant Police) This winter mine was placed too close to the plants I mist and developed a whopping crop of mold. I cut out all infected branches and moved it!!! It's doing fine. Needs lots of indirect light to come to full color and light watering. I like it because it is so different. :)

    use the full/advanced reply form and then scroll down to 'manage attachments' and click on it. follow the instructions to upload a pic from your computer. remember to upload it and if nothing appears in the little box (a line of coding) then the upload didn't take and needs to be redone.
