I knew this plant was hard to grow when I got it. It was so healthy looking when it got here from Hawaii. So I sent it to a friend in Puerto Rico for the winter, in zone 10. My friend said it grew very conservatively. lol. I thought it was supposed to be happy in it's zone, but apparently not. Anyway, since it has come home, I really can't seem to make it happy. It's in the Greenhouse now and I've moved it to sunnier and shadier spots in there. You can see how the leaves curl, and it does not seem to be growing at all, just hanging on. Suggestions, anyone?
