Gynostemma pentaphyllum

Gynostemma pentaphyllum is a plant belonging to the family Cucurbitaceae that is useful as an adaptogen and as an antioxidant. It is also known as the Chinese herb jiaogulan. There doesn't seem to be too much information about growing it on the internet, but I decided that I needed it, and threw in a few bucks for some seeds. Luckily enough, I managed to have some success.
