We purchased this plant at a gardening center a few months ago, the plant is thriving and it's time to move it into a larger pot, but we aren't quite sure what it is or needs.  Can you help?

The care directions are pretty basic, though. I think whatever you are doing right now is working great! Posted: 7:45 am on October 3rd
