We first got our Chenille plant on June 16, 2010, and you can see below on the left what she looked like when we first planted her. Amazingly, on the right you can see what she looks like less than 2 months later on August 7, 2010!
The Chenille plant is also called Foxtails or Red Hot Cattail and originates from India. She has been quite easy to grow with a fair amount of sunlight and daily watering. The plant can be toxic to humans and animals, so keep away from pets and wash your hands after handling. And obviously, don’t ingest it!
But it looks so tasty!
I know it looks tasty, but sometimes mother nature plays tricks on us!
You wouldn’t believe how much bigger it is already! This thing just won’t stop growing!
