Buy a mature plant from an Asian market or grocery store. When you get it home, trim the tops of the plant and remove any dead parts. Plant it in a clear jar of water and place on a sunny windowsill. Within a few weeks, it will develop roots and can be transplanted to your garden.

Angelina Jolie Explains The Twist Ending Of "Maleficent"

The Oscar-winning actress told BuzzFeed that Maleficent ‘s biggest modernization is what made her sign on.



Elle Fanning and Brenton Thwaites in Maleficent.


Walt Disney


There have been countless incarnations of Sleeping Beauty since Charles Perrault first penned the tale in 1697, but throughout all the many adaptations, one element always remained: The beautiful princess is awakened from her eternal slumber by the true love of a brave prince. Until now.


Walt Disney's Maleficent, written by Linda Woolverton, marks the first time in over 300 years when the kiss of "true love" is not romantic or sexual, but rather emotional and maternal. It's a significant departure that Aurora (Elle Fanning) is awakened not by a kiss from Prince Phillip (Brenton Thwaites), but instead by a kiss from the villainous Maleficent (Angelina Jolie).


That twist comes to pass after Maleficent grows to love her former enemy over the course of 16 years, and wishes to break the curse she previously enacted. So she engineers Phillip's kiss in an attempt to awaken Aurora — but when that fails to rouse the sleeping princess, Maleficent lays an apologetic kiss on Aurora's forehead, interrupting her sleep.


That modernization is exactly what attracted Jolie to the wicked role. "Linda wrote this beautiful story and when I read it, I was so moved," Jolie told BuzzFeed, while sitting tucked into the corner of a suite at The Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills last week. "It's all about the very question of what love is. And even if you don't have children, you still have parents, so you know that this kind of love is the truest form."


She continued, "And what also works is that true love's kiss came from the person who really didn't believe she was capable of any kind of goodness or love — that she would in any way be loved or have love is something she'd long ago dismissed from her life. So the thing is not only that she does express it, but it's the shock for her, which I think is so beautiful."
