The Hawaiians are better at the C. Cooperi than I. They are picky (except in Hawaii) and like undercover light- They grow under the canopy. I've seen folks grow them here in pots and they've gotten to be about 4 feet high. Mine is at the edge of a pond, they don't like being over watered, or under watered. A bit of water down the throat so that the hairs get wet as I understand that is part of their root system. Mine is a C. Australis and is much hardier than the Cooperi.
