I have plants from Uli, last winter I kept the pots totally dry on a shelf with various Achimenes species. It loves water and full light in growth and roots easily. Vertical stems to two feet so far. lots of pink flowers. I have only grown it among Achimenes and Ceropegia species indoors as yet. Odd looking roots though....superficially like a juno Iris.
