That looks like a nice find from Ebay, but it's soon to be a gonner, unless you can put it out in the elements. Also in Fla. you will want this only to get morning sun, or partial sun. Here in Dallas they will only grow as an under-plant to larger trees. I have 2 growing in the ground on the eastside of my house in a shaded area. Another one I have in a grow box will soon move from the backyard to the shaded part of my patio, where it will only get indirect morning sun.
Good luck with yours!
