Scuttlebutt says this one needs a cool, dryish winter. Have you
found that to be true, Tom? I'd love to have one or two, but 60F and not
very dry in winter is what I have to offer.
 
Hi Abax,

We give all of our Parvi species and hybrids a cool winter rest, along with an increase in ambient light levels and reduction in watering/fertilizing frequency. We don't allow them to get bone-dry, but the pots are definitely on the light side before being watered - especially if there hasn't been a lot of sun.
 
I love the flower, but I don't know about winter lighting here. I'm on the
edge of the Cumberland Plateau and our winters aren't terribly cold, but
are really gloomy and overcast. I do well with Brachys...hmmmm, I'd hate
to kill such a lovely plant.
