Someone sent me a bunch of cuttings last fall (so generous) and I managed to not kill many so I potted them up and put them outside in pots in the sun. I also got one rooted in a pot and that one bloomed but no one else. The man who helps me in the garden and lives in FL in the winter told me that in FL he has them in part shade and that he feeds them a lot and waters a lot, so I have moved them to a shadier spot, watered and fed them but I 'd love some info about what I'm doing wrong or right. Does anyone keep them in pots? Can you tell me how you take care of them and get them to bloom?? Pretty soon they'll go inside, but not if I can't get them to bloom!
