my wonderful spanish neighbour recommended this plant to me as she had one and knowing nothing about it i bought my first one last year. 

thank you everyone for your thoughts, toxicity and a ph 6.6 to 7.7   

I have just done some quick research and amazed at the many different variety's which are not clear on the labels i saw in the graden centre.  Some like sun, some dont, some prefer to be in doors, some dont flower, some recommend planting next to another varierty to help them flower and some advise not to plant near a house due to different points of view on the scent and invasive.

the only thing they all agree on is its poisonous.

I am now confused.  

My new one is about 1 mtr high it was in the shade in the garden centre, its still in its own pot with soil and looked well when i bought it.

i kept it in doors for a few days and it was happy.

I put it out side in part shade but it was 30c and some of the leaves bleached from the sun and that was when i started having problems.

I believe some plants are meant to be and also look around to see what is grown.  Dame de noche is not one of them in this area.  So there is my answer.  

She is in my "sick parrot corner" on death row and has 3 weeks left hoping for a last minute reprieve.

i have bought a new dame noches plant to replace one last year that died.

it was kept on my balcony in a pot regularly watered but the temperature can be in the high 40c and no shade for most of the day....  I think That was my problem.

so my new baby is. In the shade for most of the day  and the temperature did get to 30c yesterday, by the afternoon she did not look well in fact she had lost some leaves and a tiny bit droopy. i thought i had murdered another one.  However this morning shes looking pretty good and healthy.

so my question are:-

do i keep it out of the sun entirely?

whats the highest temperature it can reasonably take?

can i keep it in a pot and if so does it like a lit of room or to be kept nice and snug in the potting compost?

or give up and buy something different.

Thank you for your post baz1946 with numbers.  

Tomorrow (monday) is our big day and will be cancelling our contract with ono.

a spanish lady called on our behalf to ensure there was no mistranslation and said we were leaving spain altogether and need to pay there finalbills before we leave.  I think that was the key word - leaving the contry!

I shall post all the numbers and contacts we find of use to anyone else as soon as i get them.

Hi thank you baz1946 for your reply.

A freind of mine recently left spain too and i can tell you she had a real run around.  She just wanted to pay the finsl bill of 8 euros   But no one would take it. Not a branch nor on telephone so im cancelling nice and early.  It will leave me with snail pace and pigeon mail but having lived here for a few years so ive seen it before.  Itsi the manana system.

my other reason for asking was that vodaphone now own ono so who do i go too.  I have checked the forum and i could only find postings of a year or more ago.

thank you once again

regards

We have landline mobile and 50mb of internet.  The latter was appalling often cutting out reduced speed etc but the contract is about 14 months old so im expecting that there will be no fees to cancel the contract.

someone has pointed out that you need to be very clear about cancelling ALL of the service ono provide.  

We are moving back to france so want to be sure all is cancelled and paid before we leave.

 

i understand that we need call ono and then follow with a fax giving nie,contract full details ckient reference etc and send a recorded delivery letter.

 

If you have recently cancelled an ono contract can you confirm the above process is correct and any other advise or pit falls.  can you post or PM me with recent  ono contact details such as fax numbers and where exactly to send the recorded delivery letter etc.

any advise would be really appreciate to avoid some of the horror stories
