My Chantrieri is blooming constantly .. I have it outside and it gets about 2 hours of direct sun a day .. I feed it with Miracle Grow about every two weeks. It's a real happy camper! Just waiting for it to pup because I'd really like to trade for a white one.

In winter it stays in the greenhouse and sorta goes comatose .. tolerates temps into the upper 30's with no problems and does not lose it's leaves. I've had it going on 3 years now.

As to the seeds, if you plant them within a week or so of harvest they come right up otherwise they go into persistent dormancy and produces a germination inhibitor which is very hard to break.
