It's from Brazil and will need to be grown in tropical conditions year-round.

If you can keep it from getting too cold, it may not be a problem, but it would be a good idea to allow the plant to grow a fair bit before giving it a cold dormancy. I've had mine growing for years without one, so it's not really necessary.

Some seasonal variation wouldn't hurt once it's more established, especially to trigger flowering, I just wouldn't want to risk temperatures that low unless I absolutely knew it wouldn't drop further. Letting it go a bit drier and cooler in the winter should be enough.

That should work. I have a bunch of D. nobile "Seigyoku Queen" keikis forming, if you want I can set one aside for you. By the way, spellcheck offered some very disturbing suggestions for what it thought I meant to type for "keikis".
