My experience indicates that Gelasine coerulea likes water year round and does not like frost. Many, many years ago I germinated seed from Brazil Plants (Mauro Peixoto) when I was living in Augusta, Georgia (USA). The seeds germinated readily and the plants grew well over the hot Georgia summer - with regular watering. I took the pot in for the winter (night temperatures in Augusta frequently fall below freezing) and didn't water it at all. All of the plants were dead by spring.

Mauro Peixoto grows it northeast of São Paulo, Brazil. I’ve had constant trouble getting it through the winter here in inland So. California.
