| Yep they do Lewis, I am not going to mount these as I have to give them warmth and a pot is easier to put of the heat mat. They would not like our cold winters at all as they grow in tropical climates |

| G'day Betty, Have the ants moved in yet? if not I've got a few billion Argentine ants you can have!  I like this plant, a late friend of mine had one once, she struggled to keep it alive here in Tas. Dunno what happened to it in the end, but it is one intriguing plant. Cheers, CP. |
