A tropical plant that needs high light intensity to succeed, is rather larger than most houseplants, and is prone to aphids. I can't see it catching on in Britain. |

But at 4ft high at least, needing greenhouse or indoor culture, and prone to whitefly, it's just not practical. -- Kay |

Because I think around 1ft more it will start blomming already. I was taking the heights quoted in the article you linked to. -- Kay |

So you have to prove that it can be grown and flower well here first before people will pay any money for one. Perhaps you could offer one for free to someone who is willing to try it (sorry, not me). Then you'd have a track record, and would be able to offer it. People living in frost-free areas of southern/coastal Spain, Portugal and Italy might be more interested. They have higher light levels, and can grow a lot of tropical plants. But not all of them. |
