I have a 10+ year old multi-headed plant extremely pot bound in a small shallow pot. It stays outside in winter (down to 24F) with only the protection of overhanging citrus. It's pups have been put into several places in the ground in my garden, without protection and under varying watering regimes and sunlight. It seems to do well in all of them and blooms prolifically. |
