Wow thats certainly a bargain Sandra, like Carol says take it inside for the winter. Hope you will be soon feeling well again , its awful when you have to wait so long especially when you are feeling so tired and unwell, hope time flies by quickly for you, take care xx

You had a bargain, they dont need the light like geraniums etc as long as you keep it damp. Mine get placed in my shed with no windows at all off the floor, I make sure all the dead is cut away and place them all in one large pot with good soil half of which is mixed with peat. As long as it does nt go below freezing point, or you can insolate them. As you only have the one, you can keep in your home.
