    They like it cool -68 degrees is what mine likes. - not hot. Do not put near a heat vent. Sunniest window you have. Remove the fancy paper around the pot. Keep well watered, but don't let them sit in water. I water mine over the sink and let it drain. It may need repotting as they tend to out them in trashy soil, not good potting soil. I had one from last year make it to this year and re-bloom. Got a new one this year, and am planning on repotting it this weekend as it is not "happy" in the little pot it was put in - and has dropped a few leaves.

    always a problem. I stopped buying them . Look great, then deteriorate quick. They need light,and take up a lot of space, and throw off your return to

    normal decorating scheme.

    Beautiful plant, prior too, but not after

    Holidays. Larger ones cost a lot, not

    worth the hassle.

    they have been forced, so they're exhausted, and many of them wouldn't survive no matter what care they got.

    but here : )

    Mine is dropping leaves & sending out new green growth everywhere it drops an old leaf. I'll keep & see what it does over time. New growth is pretty.
