My temps in the heat of summer maxs at around 85 in the summer with lows in the high 60's to low 70's. The winter highs are right around 75 (sometimes lower depending on how cold it is outside) and the lows get down to around 50-55. From what I have been told is they will tolerate up to 85 degrees but if sustained for a long time will not flourish and will not like anything higher than 85.

Hope that helps Ed

I love these compact Dends, haven't come across this one yet but cool to intermediate makes me regretful as I'm growing semi outdoors in Fla. I'd grab this in a heartbeat, otherwise. What a great looking plant!
