Re: Cyrtosperma

For those in the Kansas City, Kansas/Missouri area of the central US, 
Bird's Botanicals has Cyrtosperma johnsonii. 

I picked up a small one (10 cm. pot, the leaf blades perhaps 20 cm. but 
with a meter of thorny stem) while there last November. It was immediately 
named "Scratchy" by everyone who had to be in the car with it.

I can attest to its cold sensitivity, as mentioned by Julius and others. 
During the unloading phase of that trip, I just put it in a corner of the 
sun room until I could read up on it. The sun room gets down to about 
16-18 C (60-65 F) at the edges, and within a couple of days the plant was 
already showing some unhappiness.

It's now out in the center, where the temperature stays somewhat higher - 
and, of course, where I'm within its reach when I'm in there.
