My VF and S. purpurea are kept on a second floor deck railing WAY above
ground level. No problem here, they eat like pigs!

On another issue: I have a lovely U. dichotoma which is green but never
blooms. I have had it for a year in a 3" pot soaking in distilled water
with lots of sun light. Any thoughts on how to make this puppy bloom?
Thanks
