jlp--I have one of these but I got it when it was older. I have kept mine in the GH over winter and I have noticed the belly growing (lol). Before I put it in the GH it stayed in my dimly lit garage for a few days (I had sprayed it), and it dropped all it's leaves in that short amount of time. It grew back very well once it was in the GH, even though the nighttime temperatures got down to 40 fairly often. It has put out 2 sets of blooms also.

This is still a newer plant to me but I would guess that it wants more light. If there's anyway you can find a sunny spot (maybe not blaring sun) to keep it outside while it is warm and bring it back in over winter (it won't look as good in the winter months)
