Did you grow yours outdoors as well LOM?

No grew them in the conservatory, we thought it was a bit to bleak for anything so delicate up here.

Ah.
I grew mine in pots in the shade outdoors, keeping them moist. I was just interested, as I've read about a lot of people failing with them.

They appear to be a bit tempremental until they are settled. I've had mixed results with them. They are actually supposed to be pretty hardy....and like plenty of moisture

That was my other reason for growing in plastic pots. As far as hardy goes, my stuff said down to one or two degrees below, but not for prolonged periods. I was just chuffed to get them to flower!
