I have 2 in my house that must be tropical, or can hardy ones be indoors. My mom just gave me one that is like 3-4 ft. tall. She said it doesnt fit in her house anymore. For now I put it on my deck, but would like to plant it in my yard. I live in Wi.(Brrrr) so I dont know. She said it hasn't flowered in awhile. HELP!!! Tammy
