Never repot them into a planter that is too large for them, otherwise you will drown the roots. These plants are like little tropical jewels and must have sufficient light and a weak fertilizer to bloom. I would say a good east or west window would be fine. If you use the west window, you need to pull them into the window a few feet to prevent scorching of the leaves. They are fine in the winter, the sun won't hurt them. I have also used a compact fluorescent light and they have rebloomed for me just fine on a side table. Just replace your regular bulb with the strongest fluorescent bulb possible. Anything around 40 watts is good and will actually put off 100-150 regular incandescent light. The bulb is very cool burning so not to worry. Happy growing these wonderful little gems.

I really like the 'mosaic' variegation and the vibrant blossoms. Makes a striking combination.
