Grandfather's Pipe (also know as Callisia Fragans) is'nt a very common house plant. It get long stems with green leaves with puprle tint toward the base of the leaves. It gets long runners like spider plants that have babies on the ends. They are easy to propagate jsut break off a baby and put in some water until roots form. Put into a hanging pot and by the end of summer you'll have a decent sized plant. I usually start mine over every summer because they don't look as nice when the main stem gets too long. Don't worry about putting a baby into a 10 inch hanging pot by it's self. It will fill that pot with roots in no time. I just use regular miracle potting soil for mine. I let mine dry a little before watering again. In the summer they don't mind lot of water. They like western exposure best. Any questions just ask.
