I have 3 plants 1 metre long. Sold seperately.
This plant likes indirect, but bright lighting most of the time. Grown outside receiving some sun each day. Will grow in partial shade under trees, or inside in bright light.

Students Nikita Sharma, Celia Lee and Jenny Zhong were chosen to design and paint one panel of the three-section mural after an invitation by Study Auckland.
The goal was to give international students the chance to work with renound artists Ross Liew, Hana Maihi of Ngati Whatua Orakei and Te Whetu Collective member Poi Ngawati and experience crafting public art.
The other two panels have been painted by Maihi and Ngawati to create awareness of the rich Māori heritage on which the city was founded.
The three panels depict the importance of welcoming different cultures in Tamaki Makaurau and Te Tōangaroa, an area spanning from the end of Britomart to The Strand.
The biodiversity that once characterised the cultural landscape of Te Tōangaroa and Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei’s history as mana whenua of Tāmaki have also been highlighted in the mural design.
Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei Whai Rawa cultural design executive Mei Hill said other Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei initiatives were planned to reinvigorate the cultural footprint of Te Tōangaroa.
“Sharing the journey of Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei through art is just the beginning of how we intend to bring to life the masterplan for Te Tōangaroa. Our vision is a space where the people of Tāmaki can come together and enjoy and respect the culture and environment this city and its people have to offer,” Hill said.

Its owners, the United Church of Tonga, claim the land’s significance as home to the first Tongan congregation in New Zealand is being neglected by Auckland Council, in favour of its history as an orphanage, preventing the site from being developed.
Because of the building's status as a category one historic place and a stalemate with Auckland Council, Carlile House cannot be repaired or demolished.
However, the situation has recently become of higher concern to both parties, following the recent partial collapse of the building’s roof.

NZ Post has confirmed uniforms were stolen during a break-in at one of its depots in east Auckland on April 25 – three days before the CCTV video was shot.
It's understood one of the items was a gift intended to be used in a kindergarten fundraiser.
The CCTV footage was recorded at the Onehunga apartments just before 3pm on Wednesday, a resident said.
A police spokesman confirmed they’d received a report relating to the apartment theft last night, and police were looking to speak to the two women in the video.
“If members of the public know those involved they can provide information to police by calling 105 and quoting the file number 210429/3091.”
NZ Post told Stuff the company was working with police as it investigated the recent break-in and theft of courier uniforms and mail.
