Behold: the most adorable, precious little plant to ever grace the inside of my house. Snow Rose (Serissa foetida) ‘Ahiro Pink.’ I squeal in delight every time I look at it. “Foetida” actually means “foul-smelling” in latin, which refers to the putrid odor that comes from cutting this plant’s roots.

This is a popular bonsai plant that is moderately difficult to care for. It is similar to Ficus benjamina in that it’ll drop its leafs at the first sign of stress. It prefers a sunny, warm area and doesn’t like wet roots, so it must be allowed to dry out between watering.

What happens when you leave a canna in a plastic pot for too long (’cuz it was forgotten about in the back of a greenhouse). Roots are powerful!

Cannas are definitely one of the plants under “could very well shatter the containers they grow in with their tubers” among plant beasts.
