    Lynne- why don't you repot is with succulent soils...nice and drainy on the bottom, with little rocks. I think if you move it to a cooool place for several months, then bring it inside, it will bloom. Also, have you thought about cutting it back a bit?

    Like you, I can't bear to throw out a plant..it seems like I am throwing away a living thing!!
