Bec--
ALL my CC's spend the summer outside every year.
The smaller ones sit on some plant stands by my front door--facing N.
The latger ones sit on a multi-tiered plant stand under my patio roof
and get a smidge of the afternoon sun.

I leave them all out even when the weather gets colder--like in the low 50's.
By the time I bring them in--they all have bloom buds on the leaf tips.

By now--all mine are done blooming. I need to stop watering them so much--
as, I believe, they need a "rest" period after blooming. Still watering, though...

Now is also time to take end cuttings (at least 2 segments) to root.
That is how I have started all mine...The will root--and, maybe, bloom
about a year or two. Depending on how much they have grown.

Here are all my smaller CC's by my front door. Pic. #1&2
Pic. #3 is of all the CC's JB sent me in that big box. I have re-potted them here...

Cross my heart and hope to.............whatever.........I will NOT root any more CC's...
...So she says.........This house looks like a jungle already.
