Drapelady,

I have had this plant for a couple of years now. It has grown quite q bit and, I think, next year I will have to either-root prune it or repot it in a bigger pot. It looked a bit stressed this year but the first bloom was beautiful.
I had it in the house all last winter and it did OK--nothing spectacular. I put it outside--first in shade, then in a bit brighter spot and then in a spot where it gets full sun until about 5PM. Then the tree shades it.

The second round of bloom was pretty bad. All the leaves are yellowing and falling off. You know how hot it has been! I have it in an 8" clay pot that is glazed on the inside. Still-the soil gets as hot as the air and 98* for a month can kill anything. I probably should have planted it in a bed.

When I have to bring it in, I will cut it back to about 6" and spray it well.

Here's some pictures of my Brazilian Plume Flower.
