# I found this plant growing out of an opening in the concrete behind…

I found this plant growing out of an opening in the concrete behind my workplace and decided to bring it home and plant it. The first picture is the day I replanted and the second is what it now looks like. I love it!

I have two Purple Heart plants (you can see in the bottom of the recent photo) is this one not different?

Is it indoors or outdoors?

### Dee commented on 2023-06-24

She’s so happy!!!

How often have you been watering it?

#### Spenser leigh replied on 2023-07-13

I’ve really only had to water it maybe two to three times a week and it’s been THRIVING. I live in Florida so the heat dries the soil quickly but it’s been going strong the whole time while some of my other plants get wilted quickly
