I have been giving morning or afternoon sun and letting them dry off a little before watering, and they seem pretty happy so far. I was worried I might kill it so I propagated it and somehow, it's all over my plant space now. Anyway, I feed a very very weak solution every time I water and the plants are all smiling when they see me, but not leggy overgrowth, just right :).

plantladylin East Central, FL (Zone 9b) November 06, 2009 06:55 PM	Found a few more called Moses in a Basket: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/184851/ http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/95669/ http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/68152/ All of them should take the same type of care. Hope you find yours in one of these links! They are great plants.
