It absolutely needs cool water, it will not do good at all in higher temps. Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.

But, it's Achilles heel is that it requires clean water. The mesh that makes up it's lace like leaves is extremely vulnerable to clogging with algae and floating debris choking the leaf and eventually the plant.
