Baby Sun Rose Pruning and House Plants garden
I have learned that this plant needs a bit more attention than many of my houseplants, but it is cute and not that difficult. I mostly have to keep it in a location that reminds me to baby it. If it is not happy it droops leaves in the center of the pot and sends out long scraggly runners looki...

House Plants garden and Baby Sun Rose Established
My mom gave me this last summer and it has done wonderfully. It was getting a bit scraggly so I pruned it back a bit which encouraged new growth to fill it in some. This is one of those plants that seem to try to grow out of the pot. As the stems get longer, the growth near the dirt starts to loo...
