Culture:
Plant anytime. Cutting the plant to the ground after planting is the only way to try to make it attach faster. The plant might take a year to attach by itself. As soon as the plant is attached, it starts growing much faster, and the leaves become bigger, up to 3-4 inches long. It is probably better to cut the plant to the ground every few year, to prevent it to become too invasive.
