I received it a year ago ... potted immediately in a peat based
compost with added sand and kept barely humid until it sprouted
in Summer ... the leaf is still there ... I only water it once a
while so that it doesn't dry out, the temperature in the
greenhouse is minimum 10=B0C during daytime but it can sometimes
fall to 7=B0C at night ... I don't know if it can stand cold
temperatures but so far it is doing fine ... the Flora of China
manuscript says "moist forest along stream; 300=96900 m SE
Yunnan", I don't know how cold it can get there in Winter time,
900m is not very high ...
