Whups! News to me! I rest mine when they seem to get really 
scraggly in winter and cut off any really ratty leaves, maybe 
that's why they do okay for me. I've got one which is 6 years 
old.  I have more trouble with gloxinias; mine has buds now,
but is the squintiest plant I've ever seen; multiple crowns 
all over the place. Ah well, I'm never going to enter plants
in a show.
happy gardening
