Heliconia prefer temps above 50 but can handle occasional lower temps. Be sure to cut way back on the watering when your temps are below 50. The bloom will be solid orange. This one seems to be a more shy bloomer than most psittacorums. I got mine from Bananaman88 last year and it still hasn't bloomed. It is definitely more resistant to spider mites than most.
