That's pretty much what I did last year--left it outside till frost became likely. I think I could leave it protected by the wall and it would be OK all winter, I have piggyback plants out there that wintered OK and some kind of succulent thing. My tall cactus also did OK and I think my fuscias are still alive. I think they all like the sun we've been getting lately too.

You stop watering in September... I have a website for all this info, I forget, and start in the near spring, but if you want blooms for Christmas or soon after...?

Mine grow and grow out on the balcony without anysign of wanting to be anything beyond strap leaves.

They are REALLY easy to hand pollenate. And you get oddles and gobs of seeds. Trouble with that is, the seeds take from three to five years to grow to a plant that will bloom. BUT hey, half of gardening is seeing what you CAN do, not what's possible. Searching for that site...

Good luck and try your hand at making new ones!
