By popular demand, we have this cute plant from my teenage years available to you in seed form! From the stems and leaves, you can clearly see that it is a member of the asparagus family! The plant slowly forms a spherical bulb at its base, and in summer or winter, the plant retracts into this bulb. During the dormant period, water less, but do not let it dry out. During growth, let the easy-care plant climb (along wires) or hang, like a green and living curtain, full of green-white flowers. The plant is not edible, by the way...
