They grow just fine here in Wales - leucophyllas in my living room
and dining room. They're less hardy than my others which cope
perfectly well outdoors all year with minimal protection ( Flava,
Purpurea, X Catesbaei. ) but they're not particularly fussy so
yeah, give it a try. A saucer of water and a sunny windowsill is
all they want. ( should stop the fungal problems too. )
