Aroid-L Digest, Vol 37, Issue 9

From: enigo at bellsouth.net (Enid) on 2007.08.04 at 18:47:13(16077) We joke about growing this plant indoors. I gave one to my father here in S. Florida as a house plant 4 years ago. He has watered it 5x in 4 years. He often out of town for months at a time. The only thing he has ever done to it is repot it once. It's the closest thing to a plastic plant there is. Apparently the only way to kill it is to overwater it.
