It's a very handsome thing, needing very bright conditions to do well
and it's a fast grower needing plenty or root room so it's not ideal
as a 'pot plant'.

Bless you Dave, I just did a Google and came up with the same thing,
it's nice to know when an expert's view accords with mine, it doesn't
happen often! *I wonder if I could grow it in a planting bed in a
heated garden room or conservatory?

He's a minor botanical miracle. *Or maybe that should be a major one!
David, I'd like to know where to find it?

Our Dave is a major botanical man. I found it in "Ann's Tropics".
Sorry, I forget the url, just type in Ann's do dah.

Ah, sorry. I meant to buy it. It would do very well in one of our
greenhouses in which things are actually planted. David's knowledge is
encyclopaedic and his memory for plant names is awesome!
