All my table rose plants (portulaca) were slowly destroyed by mealy bugs. Out of the remnants, this little twig has resprouted and it has now started lifting itself up again. Unfortunately, it still doesn't look healthy, but I'm hoping that nature will triumph against the nasty mealybugs. Here is a picture of the plant trying to live against all odds and looking on to the sun for hope!
