I must say, I was disappointed in my plant. Grew plenty of green but only 3 flowers. They do not like drought. They like moist soil and humidity and don't even begin to bloom until there are warm nights. I live in southern California in an area that has cool nights. I also planted it as a hanging basket, so that may have been the problem. Contact Renee's Gardens. She will help you as she is the one selling the seeds

I purchased it and thought I could grow it inside until I ws able to plant outside Unfortuneatly I tried but it did not take. I think it is a difficult tree to grow here in Northeast Ohio I am not sure about Texas I think I would try it I wish I could have it grow here I may try it again. See what it says online if you can by putting the tree name in. I wish I could be more help

I started cool weather seeds this week (lettuce,spinach,peas). I'll start other plants probably next week. I watch how cold it will get overnight. If it stays above 32, I figure most seeds will be ok. By the time the little shoots have started coming up, it will be staying warmer at night. I'll bring in geraniums and pansies in the next week or two. I've been in the greenhouse the past few evenings and it is still pretty warm. I always go by Zone 4 for Colo. And I always try to pick perennials that are native to this area. You can't go wrong with any of them. They take the cold weather better. It's always trial and error with these little grow house. Good luck and thanks for asking!

This plant wont be able to handle anything under 30 degrees..you have to bring it inside during the winter so keep in a large pot you can move around

That's hard for me to say. The dichondra is growing in low light with little water. It's growing well in morning sun with water. I planted this second patch in September and it is doing well as of December. I haven't watered it since getting it established so it's survived on natural rainfall. My mother grew dichondra in El Paso so I suspect this will work in Phoenix. I'm on the Texas coast so we're much more humid over here.

I am sure it depends upon where you live and where your plants are located. I live in TX, where it is hot and hotter, and typically it lasts no more than a couple of days.

Mine grew quite nicely. You will need to make sure that the soil is well over 50 degrees Fahrenheit when you plant. Water well. They do not like bright direct sunlight. I keep mine on the front porch in diffused sunlight in a large potThe majority of the pound that I planted, grew. It is very similar to ginger for the upkeep.

It would be better inside near a window or in a fully shaded spot outdoors. You will need to watch the water level it will need to be filled every couple days or the plants will dry up and the Aero-Grow will probably manfunction mechanically if it dries out.

I live in Glendale, Southern California. This plant should be put in a place that you know for sure is where you would like it. It Does Not like to be transplanted or even moved and will show you resentment. It had a Fit when I moved it and had a setback. It likes dappled sun or half day sun, half day shade. Don't over water, but don't let the soil dry out. It is very important to Not let it be in direct sun all day in summer or during a heat wave because the leaves will burn. Best of the best tree I ever bought.

Forgot, in the winter it still needs sun. I'd put in in the east window or put it anywhere & get a cheap plant grow light (Lowes or Home Depot)

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.

Keep it where sunshine hits it, inside or out it does well in cool weather outside, but I place it in my patio window. I spray the leaves and it flourishes for me. Spray when outdoors is too cold. Willa

I've had mine for about 4 mos and it is a great plant, however needs a lot of attention. Recommend that you don't put it outside right away as it will die in extreme climate changes. I would put it where it's mildly warm and move it back and forth from outside to inside for a good month and then have it outside for longer periods of time until you know it can handle the heat and humidity. Mine didn't like the hot outdoors so had to bring it inside for longer periods of time. It is too late in the season to have it outside so I will wait until Spring/Summer to try to have it planted outside permanently.

Considering the issues I've had with this plant it is clearly tropical and MUST have extended periods of warmth of above 75 and above degrees with bright sunshine in order to grow and thrive. Anything less and it just hangs on until hot weather returns. Weather colder than 60 degrees with no direct sun will ensure it quickly succumbs to rot or fungus and dies. Even in Central Texas it's been a challenge to create the ideal conditions for this plant. So if you live in NYC and rarely use the heat and only have North facing windows which means little direct, hot warm sunshine the plant will not survive very long there. You'd have to create a mini-greenhouse enclosure to even have a chance.
