Default Speaking of needing rest...
...I just acquired a Den. Oriental Smile from someone and I am not exactly sure of it's care. Does this need to go through a rest period? I have tried to look up this information with no luck , but I'm probably not "googling" the right terms. Thanks so much!

This is a plant that's HIGH on my wishlist! I think it is absolutely stunning! Found a page that should help you with it's care. It's a nobile so it should get a winter rest...read on:

I will! Don't worry! Hopefully I can keep it growing so that it will start growing some keikis! That's the plan, anyway...

Yeah, this is a first for me too, and I was very excited when I received this den. Hopefully I will have some luck with it.
