Here in coastal Otago, New Zealand, Zone 9, I underpotted it and stuck it in the bright sunlight, where it shriveled up and sulked, until I caught on to its requirements and gave it some dappled shade. Much happier during our soggy winters than our dry-ish summers, its now fattening up and starting to look more like it should. Usually I dont persist with fussy customers, but its so potentially beautiful that its worth the effort. We have some huge, impressive specimens down here, up to a metre across- just remember the water and shelter. See some of our plants and gardenalia at The Blackthorn Orphans.com [Rating]
