I've grown cheesmanii or nagensium (since the difference is not clear) in the past, and currently only have one plant left. The first year growth was very god, but the first winter was a disaster to follow. The next summer growth was marginal and has never really picked up again, and every winter they deteriorate a bit more.
Very nice looking plants the first year, so I hope you have less problems overwintering them. My overwintering conditions were in an unheated greenhouse, 5 degrees minimum.

Kind regards,
Remko.
