Islandshari,

I think your experience is fairly typical. I've grown this twice - the 1st time I killed it - seems that it needs a ton of water - even in my screened porch. I've been fairing much better this year - just using Dynamite on it with tons of water. Its been flowering very well but the blooms just dont last that long. I took this pic yesterday - the leggy branch is laying on the group with 17 buds on it - too many for space to bloom
