I had mine outside during warm days and had to water it much more than when it was inside. Plant loved the humid hot weather I now have it inside due to cold nights in Arkansas. I love my plant and it is growing fast.

I would leave the plant indoors. Since the plant likes humidity, on humid days can you place it outside, but not directly in the sunlight but should be brought back inside.

If you can keep the soil damp I'd say it should be fine outdoors, but I keep mine inside at a window that gets partial sunlight and seems fine. The most important part is keeping it from drying up, then the heat. My understanding is the cold isnt terrible for them, but if you wanna keep them healthy it would be good to keep them from frost. I've seen post from people that keep them out during the winter and just covers them wen it gets cold, but personally I just keep mine indoors.

Put it in a south facing window if you have one. Since its a tropical plant that bears fruit, it needs as much sun as possible. I have mine in a north facing window in Wisconsin, but I also have two grow lights near it. one is a flourescent light and one a 150 watt flood lamp designed for plants. I transplanted my tree as soon as it arrived. Its also a good idea to get some of those little soil sticks that tell you when you should water the plant by measuring the amount of moisture in the soil. Its a common mistake to overwater. Also, don't be alarmed if your tree starts dropping leaves. This is normal when it is moved from one climate to another. It will drop leaves and grow new ones as the leaves don't adjust in size for lighting conditions otherwise...

I actually let them sprout in my windowless bathroom (because it's very warm). Once they've sprouted, I only give the plant indirect light and it does just fine.

I agree. The light doesn't generate any heat so it can be placed close to your plants. A few inches away will allow your plants to receive the full spectrum of light generated by the different colored LEDs .

Indoors is fine, but it needs light. Mine gets about 4-6 hrs of direct light from a nearby window. The other important thing is water. Don't let the soil be dry for more than 1 day, and don't let it sit soaking bottom up. As long as your room is not over 90f or below 60 that's fine. Mine still shows those tiny white flowers from time to time after almost a year.

The lighting is very bright. Very good for plants, too bright for atmosphere. I used for 1 hour then returned it.Now I use a light bar that had a remote for adjusting, brightness and color changes. My plants are doing fine. I think the name brand is Current.

I only have 1 plant, and it has stayed alive. However, I do keep the light on most of the day for that very reason.

In an enclosed space yes, depends on what you're growing also. Different plants would like different lighting I found this a great lighting system for vegtative growth it was less then par for flower development by all means you cannot go wrong on the price and quality hydrofarm is on par with many 200w systems of other names

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.

indirect sunlight, yes. If you are looking for full sunlight for the plant during the day then no.

My YT&T; planting is in Central Florida. Survived Summer. Just starting to Bloom. Plant now should be okay in Houston. As in Florida...Sun means not direct sun.

Not sure myself about the zones nut I live in Colorado and my plant is healthy, but I keep mine indoors with plenty of light and away from frost.

We keep ours indoors over the winter and it seems to do fine. It definitely thrives when it is outside, but I don't think it is absolutely necessary as long as it has plenty of natural light. It does grow fairly quickly and might soon outgrow a low ceiling!

Did you keep in good indirect sunlight? It might not need soil, but it needs light.

Yes, it actually says not to put it in direct sunlight. I grow mine in a shaded corner of my counter.

I live in NY/NJ and I bought this plant. I have it in a front window with plenty of sunlight. I just transplanted to a larger pot and it is growing very nicely. I would think it should be OK.

I live in Texas so heating is not an issue. On cool nights here I use a lightbulb and this is enough to keep it warm. You should be able to figure something out. I Hang my bulb from a heat lamp by a metal clip from the center frame. I would not say this greenhouse is the most airtight thing out there.
