It has THRIVED for me during the cooler months for the last two years, and when it goes dormant in late spring-early summer I just put it in its pot in a dry area of my Florida room, and it stays alive till the cool 'winter', emerging in around mid-Jan. when watered and put out on the bench. It has not bloomed as yet, but the beautiful, twisted and divided leaves are worth the wait. Hope this helps.
