Professional Growing Information 
One of my favorite plants. Looks cool and smells great. I always like showing it off to visitors. They are amazed at the lime scent (but where is the cerveza, lol?) I'm in zone 5-- I used to buy a new one each year, but the last couple of years I've either moved the whole plant indoors OR took a clipping of the plant and propagated in some water, indoors.. Both methods have proved successful, and I just re-pot and move them outside again in the Spring. Sorry Proven Winners that I ain't buying a new "Cerveza 'n Lime®" anymore, but trust me, I spend a ton of cash on your other products, so it's all good, ha.

Love this plant! Found it at my local Home Depot and what a surprise it has been....beautiful foliage and the smell is incredible. I love it and wish it were a perennial.

The smell is amazing! Has stayed a healthy green, filling a 20" diameter pot in about 45 days.

So easy and rewarding! I am working on my green thumb and this plant has thrived this year! It smells so great and works well in baskets and pots. I plan to bring my potted one's inside and see how long I can keep them going for. I will definitely be filling all of my baskets on our deck railing with this next year. It's beautiful and we get so many compliments! I also love how the foliage is fatty similar to a succulents. My little outdoor garden is thriving!

Love, love, love this plant. Easy to grow, grows quickly and when a leaf falls off, put it in dirt and another plant grows! Plus, we love just rubbing the leaves to enjoy the fabulous smell. Brought them in the house for winter, so far, so good!

Easy to grow. Plant does well indoors in southern facing window. I love the fragrance.

Lovely plant that is easy to grow. We have named it the 'pet-me-plant' because it is so aromatic. Can't help but brush the leaves when you walk past this beauty. Will bush out if you pinch the leaves periodically. I gave cuttings to everyone at work; it propagates easily also. Need to find another one since it doesn't enjoy cold winters.

I love this plant. I frequently go to them just to smell the fragrance. They have thrived on a table in front of a west window. Easy care.
