Impatiens mirabilis

I am not sure if I am placing this query into the correct forum. I bought this funky plant from a recent aroid show here in Miami. A lot of people were excited to see them offered so, like a sheep, I followed the herd and grabbed one before they were gone. This is a caudiciform from the impatiens family. I am told to treat it like a desert rose with, but to provide it more shade.

So here are my questions:

1. Do you have this plant, have you known anyone that has grown this plant? How do you/ they grow it?

2. If you have grown it, did you try to pollinate it? Did you use a small brush or did you use another technique?

3. If you have pollinated it, what technique worked best for germinating the seeds?

4. If this is the wrong forum for this post, where would you suggest that I repost it?

Thank you for any feedback you might be able to provide!
