Now, when you say that it doesn't demand an intense cold, dry period,
do you mean that its deciduous habit is facultative, and that if I
keep it warm and keep watering at the normal rate it will keep going,
but if I let it experience a cool dry period it will display the
deciduous habit; like the deciduous phals? Or would I end up killing
it if I let it see a cool, dry period.

How do you think it would fair in a south window in southern Ontario?

Cheers,

I personally manage all of these like standard nobiles, however, the big
advantage for them is that if they have a drop in temperature in the fall that
they then can be placed in a warm, int, or cool room and they will flower.
Moreover, they can be watered during this period. They will still lose their
leaves like any nobile, either before, during, or shortly after flowering.
