Real easy way to solve this problem.....when the plant goes dormant.......put it in your refrigerator for about 3-4 months....
Under those circumstances it will be fine..... the reason for the person in florida who responded and said that they usually perish after about 2 years is because of the cold dormancy not being respected.
Many plants (aroids and others) that are temperate and require a cold dormant period, are easily tricked by the winter refrigeration.. It really does work.
