Do this when you get home
- Put it on a sunny balcony
- The stems and leaves are juicy and like moisture. Water when the soil is dry.
Day to day
- A ripe pod pops and throws its seeds at a touch. You can save them and sow again next year.
- It's an annual. When the weather cools in fall, it fades.
Common questions
Can it really dye nails?
Yes. Crush the petals, mix in a little alum, and press it on the nail. That's the old "nail flower."
