Could these grow in New Jersey? Potted indoors over the winter and then planted next spring?

I put mine outside right when I got it and it got frostbite so it died so I think if you do bring it inside a little bit and throat it outside when it's bigger hop this helps

I have planted mine in a pot and keep it indoors. I would assume as long as you keep it moist and away from direct harsh sunlight that it would be fine.

I believe so as long as you make sure the tree is healthy and plant outdoors after any chance of frost. I have not planted mine outdoors yet but it has done very well in a large pot and has more than doubled in size since I received it.

I would say keep it indoors for at least a year, till it is much older and stronger. New Jersey can be a tough climate in the winter

Generally they don't do well indoors especially with dry heat in the Winter. I would order these in the Spring and then pot them outside

You can plant them now as long as you have plenty of sunlight and keep the soil fairly moist. Mine are doing great and I have them in medium pots on my kitchen window sill.

That should be fine. I grew them in St Louis last year. They are a bit stringy and sensitive to moving them around.

I am not sure, I would think in a cooler area. I live in Florida and had no luck with them. Out of the seed packet I was only able to get four plants which never bared a sprout. I gave up and bought fresh or frozen at the store. I was disappointed, I did grow them up north, (NY) when I lived there. Good luck!!!

I grow mine in Wisconsin, just need to make sure you bring them indoors before the temperatures begin to drop.

Don't see why not. However, not sure because I just planted mine in North West Arkansas 4 weeks ago. Instructions mention that they come as late as June and you may not have any the first season. I don't have any yet. I would think June in Arkansas is April in Florida. Order now and plan on next April. We can always hope to be lucky this year.

Our temps here in Mo are still swinging dramatically. 70s one day, 50s the next and night temps still dipping in the upper 30s and 40s -if I would order them now I'd go the pot route. If you live in the South and winter temps don't go below 50, I'd put right in the ground. I planted mine in large (very large) decoratine pots and moved into the garage over winter -our winter temps run in the minus temps and only the strongest survive. My friends who had these plants live in the deep South so I assumed they prefer and thrive with the warmer temps dspite their claim that they are Northern hardy Our temps here in Mo are still swinging dramatically. 70s one day, 50s the next and night temps still dipping in the upper 30s and 40s -if I would order them now I'd go the pot route.

Depending on where you live (how far north) but, I think thay should be ok since they sprout fairly quick and, with the rain in the fall, the plants shoulsd establish fairly well before going dormant in winter

I don't know. We live in South Carolina and plant them in the spring and save the seeds from the flowers for spring replanting. My guess in warm climates that will not get a hard freeze they might do OK

Do you have a warm very sunny place to put them if you plant them if so I would go ahead and plant them if not I would wait and place the cuttings in a cool place until spring. I am certainty not an expert on these but, this is what I would do if I had just received them. Hope this helps!

I would definitely move the plants indoors before frost. They will not survive the winter or a hard freeze.

The wintergreen spreads and is usually not considered a "potted plant". Planted in loamy soil in a semi-shaded location (or only morning sun) they will do beautifully but remember they will spread. If you haven't had frost in your area go ahead and put them in the ground - a little late but they will be happier.

Nope. But you can put in in the garage for the winter, or bring it inside. Also, I'd recommend buying from a plant store. You really want to see what you're getting!

I'm sorry, I can't really tell you for sure. You may want to direct these questions to the seller. I live in NC and planted them last year late in the season and they did beautifully. I will plant them earlier this year, once it gets warm, and am hoping last years plants will come back. Just make sure you have good soil and they get some sun. Mine were planted in partial sun but it was still a very bright area. Not gloomy shade. They do get seed pods on them when they are mature plants. Good luck!

No, they are a more tropical plant. I'd say plan on keeping it indoors. They don't get very large as an indoor plant, about 12" high or so. They like lots of light and humidity and warmth.

They are lichens and can be cultivatived indoors year round along with moss and Spanish moss! However, outside you will have to wait until spring, summer and fall!

I have two of these planters that have been outside (northern NJ, zone 6a) for most of the last two years without any problems. I plant them with bulbs, leave them outside until January, and then bring them into the basement until March to get the daffodils and tulips started early.
