Hmm, if you keep it in a saucer of rainwater on a sunny windowsill
in a decent sized pot I can't see what's to go wrong ( during the
growing season anyway. ) Established plants are available from a
number of sources including a lot of garden centres ( seasonally, )
but I don't know where you are, so can't suggest any convenient
specialist suppliers.
As far as other plants go, I'd have to recommend the Cape Sundew
- Drosera Capensis - they're very easy ( nay, idiot-proof. ) If
you Email me your address I'll post you some seed if you'd like
( it sorta accumulates <G> )
