Nearly lost this last year - it had a major RSM infection and the stem rotted as a result of the treatment. Still, I was able to save a cutting, and that has remained RSM free.

Well done, no signs of flowers on mine yet I lost my main plant too I think it got a bit cold and damp in the winter but a couple of cuttings survived, flowers soon I hope!

Thanks Milky and PA.

They certainly dislike damp - I was spraying the underside of mine twice a day to deal with the RSM and the stem turned to mush halfway up. Thankfully the treatment had worked with regards to the RSM and they're easy from cuttings.
