The title of this post is a bit misleading. I didn't
find this plant; it was given to me by my friend Steve. I use the "Plant Find" heading for new plants coming into my collection, regardless of how I obtained them. Steve tells me that it roots very easily from leaf cuttings and he has had to start tossing his cuttings now because he has so much of this plant.
