Paul,
They rebloom off the same spike, so do not cut it. I grow mine outside during the season (March-Oct. in Houston) where it is very humid. However, during the cold months I have them inside. The one that just rebloomed (2 on 1) for one full month, is hanging from a flouorescent fixture in my kitchen/dining/living room. I have a small suite at the student residence. It is quite dry here, so evey chance I get, I mist with an extremely week 20.20.20 with one or two drops of everclear (that's alcohol). It loves it, the drying out and the getting drunk. As I say, I've had this one for nine years, on a piece of driftwood I cured from the Gulf of Mexico. It started at the bottom and worked its way up to the top over the years. BTW, it can take drying out for a couple of weeks and not suffer.
Now be careful about intrerpreting what I say. This is a hybrid, and I'm thinking your sacndens likes it cooler than Houston weather, but the basic care should be the same. Good luck.
I also like Hoosier O, but I spend too much money when I go there (Luckily, it's rare to get up there. Unluckily, they have a great website (sigh).
