Not expecting much, I stuck a piece of my broken off Boat Lily in a glass jar, and she’s doing so well!  
Look at her wee flower! 🌸

I love my boat Lilly! I got her as a tiny baby in a cup and she got so tall so I chopped her in half and propagated so easily then she started making split branches and I’ve propagated her some more. 🤩 three years later she’s a small shrub like plant of flowers and gorgeous leaves

Min got a little curly at the bottom because I had it against a window and not she needs supports to stay upright but she’s gorgeous still

As she’s grown, I’ve been giving her things to hold on to. I started with chopsticks, and now use slim moss poles with plant Velcro to tie them.
