do you know what plant you have? if not can you post a picture.

then we can heklp you.

Without knowing what type of plant it is I can't help I'm afraid!

Plus it would be useful to know if it is in a pot?

and is it an indoor / outdoor plant?

Your description makes me think of Aeonium - google to see if its that. If it is, its frost sensitive and will need to be brought inside for winter.

Thats what I thought too Bamboo but could I remember the name?

Could I heckers like!

Or put another way;.......another aged moment

I will add this link in the event that a 'google' doesn't get to the right spot!
