Since the great greenhouse heater SNAFU of 2009, I have built a temporary closed cell foam protective structure for the pups. I first saw this plant in a professor's garden in Coral Gables in the late 1960's and it is not too difficult to find in South Florida. Mine came from Tropical World Nursery (they also have Worsleya) in Delray/Boynton Beach several years ago and is now over 13 feet tall.. I paid significantly less than $250.
