One word of advice from the grower I got it from: The are very susceptible to rot if the plant doesn't dry out quickly, so never water it late in the day.
Sadly it died in the fall. I was going through a really rough time, and forgot it in a bucket of water for over a week. Killed all the roots. I got a replacement in december, though it's much smaller.
