I've had one of these in a pot for a couple of years. Because I've seen pics of them growing in full sun, I placed my pot on the patio in 6-8 hours of sun and it looked miserable and leaves curled badly even though I gave it water every other day. I did repot it last year before it went outdoors so I wouldn't think that would be the problem. The leaves remained curled even after being indoors now for 4 or 5 months. It does have new leaves coming and as they get bigger, I prune off the permanently curled leaves. I did mix compost with ProMix when I repotted it. Do you think a top-dressing of peat with mushroom compost would help it get through the summer in better shape?
