Be sure to read how to care for them. They need what they need and want what they want otherwise they will limp a long and or die. Our hard water is no good for them. You will need distilled water or captured rain water. Under good conditions they grow quickly. Most are propagated from existing plants. They,you select one you like, cut off a leaf dip it in rooting hormone, let it heal for a day or three and stick the stem part into sterile potting mix. It will root and produce one or many plants.

If, a gift you will want an established plant.
