I am thinking of adding this to my small, but growing, collection, and have not found very much about the required culture.

Any advice would be helpful. Especially looking for info on how big this is likely to grow over the course of 2-3 years.

We currently travel between 2 houses (less than 2 hrs apart), with our main home in a small town, victorian house with large windows, east & south facing screened porch and fairly good light throughout the house.

Our other house is on Cape Cod, more contemporary, with 2 passive solar sunrooms - one in the walk-out basement, the other is a 2 story space with doors to the main living space, and windows opening to bedrooms. I plan to grow orchids and other things in these 2 spaces, though can't crowd it so much as to reduce the solar collection. There are also decks and a patio -one is Northeast, another west-facing, and one is south facing.

Until we retire to the Cape house, we will be spending a good part of the summer there - I have someone to water stuff at our main house, and can also carry some things with me for the summer and then back again in the fall. With these conditions, I need to be selective about what I buy.

Any advice or sharing of your experience will be appreciated.
