They are very hard to keep in cultivation, even in the true tropical climate. I have one, it's finicky, I don't know if it will go through winter or not. I live in Florida and grow in a greenhouse heated to a minimum of 60f at night. That may well be too cold for it. I guess I will find out. They are fairly new to the us plant trade because they are not suited for almost any one's conditions outside of extreme south Florida or Puerto Rico. I imagine a lot of people will try them and fail. Mine was relatively inexpensive, $30, and I bought it in person so it didn't have to go through being shipped. I don't buy mail order plants..I don't have to. I live less than 2 hours from Ecuagenera USA. Not buying mail order makes a huge difference in a plants health imo
