I felt all the plants she left for me to tend too and I noticed the CC soil is wet, so don't know if she watered it yesterday before she called me or not. The CC belonged to a tenant who was living there for 5 yrs. and every June, she would move her CC outside under the shade of the eaves of the house and leave it all summer and bring it back inside late Sept. or early Oct. I think she is keeping it too moist so I don't think I will water that one but maybe once a week but will still keep an eye on the soil.
I tried to start a cutting from it one year and failed; while it is in my possession, maybe I'll try again..I think I put the cutting in water. This time I will try it in potting mix outside in the shade. I've always wanted one of them. It just blooms its head off in her sunroom but don't remember when.
