Bill, 

Could you say, please, how fussy the plant is. I have had one before and
lost it. I now have another one and would really like not to lose it! 
I presume it needs cool and damp, but how cool and how damp? Here we
tend to have quite dry summers. I have it in cool shade but do I need to
keep it well watered?

Thanks for any information
