Hard to say if my Cast-Iron Plants will make it.

After pulling apart 4 shoots at the roots of a multi stemmed cast iron plant I dug out of it's pot a few days ago, then put each individual stem with roots into separate pots. I have kept 3 outside on the porch, to see if they do okay and brought one I put in a pot of Miracle Grow soil in my man cave to keep my other iron plant company. I think it will survive at the South wall window. May need a pedestal to raise it up a bit to get more sunlight on it. Hope they all make it. I am not exactly an expert with plants. Just wanted to keep the main plant alive as it was getting root bound in a smaller pot with 4 stems coming up from an original single root stem. It is kind of amazing how well these cast iron plants survive. I was told they come originally from Japan and are often used as house plants and to decorate offices. Well, they seem to like it in summer on the porch but do like it year round if they must stay indoors as long as they get a little sunlight through a window and a little water ever so often, but not too much water, as super wet dirt seems to stunt their growth.
