i had one of these for 5 years sanbaz... they dont like to much heat... mine lasted after one christmas so i repotted it and every year it had the coloured bracts ( leaves) on it.... which come as the days get shorter....... it was so big when i moved here, it was in a huge pot and about 6ft tall....... i hadnt got room indoors for it and it was getting a bit straggly... so i put it in the garden....... and let it die off........ i use to call it Miss Plant...lol
