During the summer I keep it on the porch where it gets afternoon sun, water often and fertilize once a month. During the winter it must be protected from low temperatures.
Positive	SudieGoodman	On Jan 17, 2005, SudieGoodman from Broaddus, TX (Zone 8b) wrote: Dragonwing is in full bloom Jan. 16, 2005 in plastic pot. It blooms year round; overwintered in greenhouse. It has lovely green leaves, not bronze leaves which takes more sun. Bloom color is baby pink, about dime size. When Dragonwing becomes too leggy, I prune back & dip cuttings into rooting hormone then add to mother plant or make a new plant in smaller pot. Plant is suitable for growing as houseplant or outside. Plant in part sun to shade 24" apart . It grows 12-15 " tall. It is great in containers or beds. It has average water needs. Do not overwater which causes stems to rot. Feed weekly while in bloom. Beautiful year-round green foliage with plentiful, soft pink blooms.
