I saw this plant today and it was strangely attractive. No really useful information on the label. I had no idea at all about its needs. If I wasn't so stubborn about not getting a mobile phone, I could have foud out in a second this is not the plant for me. Or so it seems.
My curiosity got the better of me and I bought one. Now I read on one site "no more than 20°C in summer and no less than 5°C in the winter". Another says "winter down to zone 7b". Does anybody know a country that fits the bill? Highland areas in tropical countries? Not Rome, for sure. It is from New Zealand.
Anyway, I now have a plant that I am sure to see fail over the summer. Fingers crossed I am wrong. I will keep you posted.
