The secret to a bright silver color? Full sun! In the shade, the color turns greenish-gray. Preventing baldness: Trim the ends every few weeks - this encourages dense growth from the base. Israeli summer: Although drought-resistant, on particularly hot days check the humidity daily - in pots it dries out quickly! Winning combination: 'Silver Falls' + 'Emerald Falls' = a spectacular silver-green combination in the same basket! Propagation: Stem cuttings root easily - simply plant a section of stem in moist soil.
