Rating for this plant:
I grow this plant indoors in New England. I love it. I have two in my office and they handle the office environment (air conditioned, dry air) like troopers. They bloom twice a year for me, and if you fertilize the blossoms, you will get slowly swelling green seeds. They grow on an umbrel-type structure, eventually reaching the size of a fat nickel. Then they turn yellow,then orange, and finally red. They then take a while to ripen, but until they do, you are treated with the bright red "berry"-like seeds against the green foliage. So, between the 2 blooms and the berry-like seeds, this plant puts on quite a show! I recommend it highly.
