I've only grown this indoors...I wonder if it's hardy enough for our UK climate to be outside? They usually do grow very well as a houseplant when I've had them years ago.

You could try with a bigger plant, it might work...I really should have it as a houseplant here, because it needs the air conditioning...it's so hot usually that it wilts very fast. And then grows again.

I may discover that it is grown outdoors here in the UK...I'll check around and see what I can find out, Raquel.

I am from B.C. originally and I don't remember seeing this grown outside and our climates (B.C. and north-west UK) are similar.

Just googled and found it requires humid conditions but can be grown outdoors if not in full sun.
