Growing Heliconia

[megfitz]

I bought a Heliconia tuber in Madeira in June, it produced several healthy shoots and leaves, in late September I brought it in to my south facing conservatory,not centrally heated but frost free, however the leaves have curled up at the sides, it gets maximum light but is it too cold or is this it’s natural winter mode ??

There are several varieties of Heliconia but they're all tropical plants, so they're not going to like the British weather very much.
