They should grow great there. Like others have said, you will need full sun (at least 6 hours per day,) for bloom.

I live in Northern Arkansas. I put my plants in full sun but watch the water level. Yesterday the temp on my deck read 107 after I had watered the soil. No problem. I also have one under the deck cover and it is doing well also. I haven't tried them indoors, but they seem to like the sun here. Good luck.

I just purchased this plant myself, but I live in zone 10 and it is advertised as requiring a warm climate. I would check on other websites that give you more detailed general care instructions to find your answer. Check the other sites first before ordering, but my plant from Amazon is very healthy and growing well, and the price was quite good.

They would survive indoors if they had plenty of light. Succulents like the sun because they are a cactus so plenty of sunshine in or next to a window would be fine. Remember they don't need a lot of water.

I'd be surprised if they can ever get too much sun. When they first move outside into direct sun I've seen them kind of sunburn on the existing leaves but not on new ones. Are you using distilled water? And is it possible it's going through dormancy?

I have planted them, about 7-8 weeks ago. And disappointedly to this day only 9 have grown!!!! I love those plants, when I lived in Md., I had a huge pot of them, but since my mother passed away, my brothers have thrown everything we owned away, cause my father could not afford house in Md anymore! If you want I will send you a picture of what grew. My mother loved these, thatswhy I ordered them, there is not one nursery in Myrtle Beach, SC that sell them!

My guess is they would grow better in San Diego, than the desert of Arizona. Not real sure though.I never received mine, requested a refund yesterday.Good luck

I live in a community that is mostly clay and they seem to do well. from what I see the most important thing for crape myrtle is sun, the more sun the better. I have azaleas in with a crape myrtle bush and I feed them muracid and they all do well

Yes but it depends on where you're at and where you have them. I'm in Texas (Dry, hot and humid climate) but my plants are kept indoors in front of a window.

I have three of these plants that are in their first year of growth (South Florida). Heat, humidity, full sun, no problem. Growth is rapid and currently they are flowering. My research indicated that these plants are hardy, even for short periods of time at freezing temps. San Diego would probably be an excellent environment to grow these wonderful berries. Good luck and post a follow up in six months to let us know.

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.

Yes,but fairly small plants and you need to be vigilant re whether lower level plants are getting sufficient sun. I have 2 and use all 18 areas for herbs. The planters are perfect for that use.

These should grow in North Carolina but you will need to cover them in the winter.

All I know is that they will survive indoors. I'm having trouble with the bright sunlight here in New Mexico. I'm going to use shading cloth that blocks 30% sunlight and I hope that helps cause too much sun burns them.

Not sure yet. I'm in NC 30 miles north of Raleigh. Frost knocked them down as expected. Grandma left the plant's tuber in the ground in this colder than normal winter we had. Fingers crossed for it & basjoo banana I got her last spring.

With protection, yes. I had a relative plant one successfully in sheltered portion of his yard in Charlottesville, VA and it did well. I planted mine near the house hear in southern New England and it seems to be doing well. I would plant it near a heated structure, cover it with hay or mulch, then plastic in the winter and cut it back before covering. Give it a lightly shaded location, mulch the roots and it will just love Manassas. You can see one growing in the botanical gardens in Arlington. I saw one growing successfully in Salamanca, New York to an enormous size and another doing very well in Norwich, Connecticut. Good luck! With protection, yes.

I planted my plants, I had three, in a area set aside along our building. Each plant got the sun for 2 or 3 hours a day, otherwise it is a shady area. I would not plant these in a total shady area. I hope this helps.
