GIN BONUS - GIN DOUBLES TO 4 CUTTINGS!
There is so much to say about this plant. My advice is if you don't know about it, google & learn about all it's wonders. I will add some links for some info in comment section.
First lets talk about what you are gettign & how it grows. You will be getting 2 cuttings at least 8" long. These look a little like a thin plumeria cutting. It looks like just a green stick, and can be kept as such for up to a month. When I plant mine, I basicly just stick it in the ground & let it do it's thing here in FL. My original plant I bought as a cutting & it is now over 8ft tall. You can let it grow as a tree like I do, or keep it as a shrub or container plant. In the winter here in FL it does loose all its leaves here but as soon as it warms up they come back. It is not fond of the cold, or being too wet. Mine are always in full sun. Once established it is very drought tolerant.
The variety I have is a 5 lobed leaf, that get larger than my hand. It has no stinging hairs & throws off lots of clusters of small white flowers that butterflies love.
Now - The leaves are edible & highly nutritious. It is recommended you cook them prior to eating & do NOT cook in anything aluminum. Chaya has up to 10 (TEN) times the calcium as spinach. 4x the protein as spinach! It can be made into tea, used in soups, smoothies, anywhere you would use cooked greens. You can find some great recipes online if you search for them. Once established you can harvest up to 50% of its leaves at one time. It is said to help with ailments such as:
Improve blood circulation,
help digestion,
improve vision,
disinflame veins and hemorrhoids,
help lower cholesterol,
help reduce weight,
prevent coughs,
augment calcium in the bones,
decongest and disinfect the lungs,
prevent anemia by replacing iron in the blood,
improve memory and brain function and
combat arthritis and diabetes.
Last one for a while!

What state do you live in? Here...I could honestly walk around & stick them in the ground & never touch them again & I would say about 95% would make it lol. But I do know some have told me they had problems. I know they do not like cold. The soil here is sandy. They seem to do best in hot places, they cant be left soaked or be started in soaking water because they will rot. Well drained & sunny is good. I know what you mean though, I swear I planted 50 dormant strawberry crowns this year and none lived, only 3 sprouted & then they died too. Same with anything dormant I seem to plant here. Maybe its just too dang hot for them =) Maybe its me lol.

How long does it take before it is considered established? After it is established it tolerates drought. Does it ever tolerate cold (snow)? I live in N.E. Arkansas.

I would say no to snow. It never snows here but when it gets cold all the leaves die off. Im pretty sure it would not make it through snow. Its probably possible to container grow though.
