had to get some thinner and hardener for automotive paint, that required a trip to Jacksonville Fla. on the way there is an ace hardware that has a nursery. figured I would stop on the way. they had 5 basjoo which I was not interested in. but off I a corner there was this one little plant. probably left there as dead. said zebrinius on the tag. yu should have seen them looking as I wheeled her out. told the lady it was a Charlie brown Christmas tree.http://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=61868&size=1

Lol, I just looked at the full size photo in your gallery, that is one grody looking pot. I wonder how long it had to sit there to grow all that moss.

Do you know what those little weeds growing in the pot are? I keep having those pop up in pots.

no idea what the weeds are. the moss means wet. they are all now in fresh potting soil in separate pots out of the full sun.

an update. lost the smaller pups. only the largest survived. sold to me as a zebrinius. thought it might be a zebrine rojo, don't think it is. very narrow leaves, doesn't look like anything I have in the yard. :woohoonaner: the leaves are almost oval.

It's looking like a Brazilian or Manzano to me. Those 2 have wine spots that look unique like that. And they also have very long skinny leaves which matches also!!¡. Is very hard tell the difference between the 2 until flowering!!
