Now I know this is very random but I'm super interested in getting one and have a few questions that I hope someone here can answer.

1.) Can they grow here in South Africa, or more specifically, the Highveld? If no, should I be able to
keep it in a greenhouse with the right conditions?

If I can grow it here, move on the the next few questions please:

2.) Where can I get one?
3.) What happens when winter comes?
4.) How do I take proper care of the plant?

Most nursery's keep them but very difficult to keep alive. Gave mine flies in the summer and water once a week. But as winter arrived food got scarse and it died. Never tried again.

Flora Farm in Boksburg (near the East Rand Mall) stocks them. Otherwise any other big nursery.
