Yes, I know that it grows during the "winter" in its native habitat, 
which has mild winters and blazing summers, but I was wondering if, in my 
temperate maritime climate, I could grow it outdoors during the summer, 
and put in a shoebox indoors during the winter.  Obviously, people in 
climates like mine grow it quite successfully during the winter.  Do you 
give it extra light?  What causes the onset of dormancy:  photoperiod 
and/or temperature?  Has anybody tried growing it during the summer?
