When I purchased mine It was half buds half blooms.I still had blooms to see,so guess the buds we're not quiet affected.They like it cool right now.They can adapt to low light,but do better in bright indirect indoor lighting from N or W.You can grow in E or S but will need like a sheer curtain to difuse the light.Mine seem to do best in temps of 50-65.Mine are mostly outdoors& indoors from Dec-March.I would think being across the room would be good as would not get a draft from the window. Things that make buds drop...over watering,drafts,cold,heat(like from radiater)lack of potash in soil.
otherwise keep soil moist,but let it dry between waterings& keep it on the dry side in winter.

I have moved mine while in bud....just the 20th I moved them& then put back& will move again tomorrow,but I also set them in the dark.My pink just looks ugly cause the dog knocked into the blanket(I just potted the broke off ones)I have a post on here of mine blooming.My red one will be blooming this weekend.

I will age ungracefully until I become an old woman in a small garden..doing whatever the Hell I want!
