''Even though my ancestors
were born in Texas, in the Wild West, I am very easy to look after at
home in your living room. I prefer a bright spot, but if you place me
in the darkest corner of the room or even in the bathroom, I will quickly
adapt to that too. Suddenly I might lose some of my leaves, but I will
soon be all right again. The only thing I shall have to ask of you is
to water me once a week in the summer and once a month in the winter.
Then I will grow big and please you for many years''.
