I am sending Gene’s answer again as it was rejected by the internet service providers of a lot of our members who were therefore deprived of the interesting information he provided. I hope my message doesn’t trigger rejections. Diane Whitehead a PBS list manager ====================================================== My experience indicates that Gelasine coerulea likes water year round and does not like frost. Many, many years ago I germinated seed from Brazil Plants (Mauro Peixoto) when I was living in Augusta, Georgia (USA). The seeds germinated readily and the plants grew well over the hot Georgia summer - with regular watering. I took the pot in for the winter (night temperatures in Augusta frequently fall below freezing) and didn't water it at all. All of the plants were dead by spring.
