good question. i don't know the answer but maybe if i tell you about the plant itself, somebody else might be able to answer.
8/14 - put seed between 2 wet sponges to germinate
8/15 - seed breaks open
8/16 - planted in small plastic cup (no more than 4" tall)
8/19 - stem popped out of dirt
9/2...
Its gonna be hard to kill it. can't i neuter it or something? if not, i might have to find an adoptive home. how long until it becomes a threat to the females?
