Hi dentalbar,
I live in Covington, LA, and mine stays in a pot. I've heard from others who have this plant that it won't survive below about 50 degrees, and I just don't like to take the chance. Mine is in filtered shade, but I've heard that deep shade is too shady. Not too much water, the humidity here keeps the soil damp enough, and with our almost daily rain, it's plenty. I've got my first bloom on my plant tonight!
