They are dramatic plants so don’t fret if it gets a little droopy! It’ll perk right back up once watered :)

Personally, I’d plant 3 or 4 in the same pot to make them look bushier. They can get leggy, quite quickly so need regular pinching out. They also drop leaves a lot so there’s always that task that needs regular attention.  
I’ve got 3 different colours in this one.

Ok, I could try that. If I do get some, and plant them in the same pot, will I need to worry about root competition? I know I’ll give them enough resources but I have heard about that happening in plants. Thx!

Mine have been in that same pot for about a year now and I’m not looking to repot them anytime soon. I think they just work it out between them tbh 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ok, good. Thx!
