I bought one ( 1 gallon) plant and put it in medium draining soil last year. It takes very little water. Easy to over water it. It spent most of last year sprouting long, fountain line branches. But with this years rain, it is starting to have cross branches and growing more aggressively. Leaves are tiny and raspy, and looks to be a big plant. STill I love its fountain like form.

Definitely a slow-growing plant with minimal watering needs. My plant is in a raised mound of medium-draining soil; full sun. Happy and beautiful so far!
