LOL, I will certainly give it my best shot. So far it is going great, but it's only been two weeks, so who knows what will happen, but summer time is the time that I am most worried about it struggling, and it is doing just fine in summer time this year. I put my thermometer/hygrometer that keeps track of daily highs and lowes right by where I have the plant at the window, and it is showing that daytime highs are about 80, or maybe a degree or two higher during the day, and then about 60 at night, and I think those temps sound promising. Better than what I had expected. Humidity is usually in the 40s during the day, but it gets up into the 70s at night. But it is has been rainy and humid here, I'm sure there will be times that the humidity drops far lower than 40, but we will see. I think if I can get it through the summer, it should do just fine through the winter. I might experiment with putting it outside in the fall when days are 80 or below, and nights are cool, but not freezing (I think it will probably tolerate, or even enjoy low night temps in the 50s). I feel like I'm on a personal quest to make this plant work for me, and I hope I am able to inspire you to give it a shot. I hope to make you proud
I almost feel that you are as invested in my success as I am haha, and I'm glad you are. I enjoy the encouragement.
ES is worried about spider mites. I have never had spider mites in my collection, so I'm hoping that I never will, but of course there's a first time for everything.
