This clone is my best Sweet Isabel clone by far. It has longer, wider leaves than my other clones and the leaves recurve, giving the plant a cool and unique shape. This is a super hardy plant I grow in full Sun here in San Diego. The old growth does tend to get scraggly since it grows long and caulescent. You can combat this by keeping it well watered, but both parents are xeric so too much water can present its own problems with rot
