how does this plant do in zone 9
1387102
I'm in zone 7B/8A and I've had some planted in the yard for about 4 years. Even after a winter where temps got down to the single digits, they always come back and reach 10-15 feet tall by mid summer. Zone 9 they should grow like crazy.

One of the plants I recieved was less than a pinky size and died....the other one is kept inside the house by a window ...I'm assuming it will fair well in the summer as it will be hot...we shall see if this will survive...as long as it's kept in a pot and brought in during chilly weather it will survive....

to be honest, mine did not do well. they died. (3) i had them, in my home for a while. i would not buy from this nursery. ordered, 2 more, from a different nursery.

I am in zone 5 so I really can't say. But mine is doing fine indoors. From my experience is living in both Florida and Texas I would say this will be fine in your area

Not well. I bought 2 of them, both arrived broken in the middle and were completely dead in a couple of weeks. I got poor response from the shipper, a total loss of money and time. Obviously I don't recommend this product.

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! 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.

We live in northern Pennsylvania, zone 5, and it did extremely well for us. I don't know the extremes of the zones for good growth but as I said it did very well here.

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.

Our house is usually between 65 - 80 degrees fahrenheit. plant seems to like those temps.

No sure. I know it required at least 5 hours of sun a day. But you can plant it in a pot and place it indoor near windows with the most day light during the day and no worry about the zones.

I am in zone 9. So far the seedlings are doing great. Even when it hit 90 last week. I lost a few but it is to be expected. I put them out early, at 2.5 weeks due to space issues indoors. Tomatoes, peppers, beans, carrots, radishes, cucumber and all squashes are thriving. Some other root vegetables died in the heat. But they were really small when I took them out.

I am in zone 11. My plant is almost 5 feet tall now. You do plant it in a pot at first as it comes as a few sprigs with a few leaves on it. You can question any nursery in your area regarding your question. Hope it works out for you.

We planted in mid April in zone 5. Some came, but had unusually hard rains and a cool spring so I am unable to give you a good answer. I would rebuy.

I'm sorry I wish that I could answer your question. I see that this zip is for New York. I would think that since it is tropical, it may not work for you. I would try Emerald Goddess Gardens where I ordered from. I must say this plant has growed pretty rapidly. I've only had a couple of blooms. I planted mine in a pot so that I can bring in during the winter. I want to think I read somewhere it wasn't very cold hardy and thats why I planted in a pot. I'm so sorry I couldn't be more help. Good Luck!!

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.

It seems to be happy in an area that receives only a few hours of sunlight.I have placed the plant in a large pot,and placed it in a few different spots, it looks happiest in the mostly shaded location.I plan on getting it out of the pot and into a permanent home ( mostly shade ) next spring.I am curious about whether it will retain its red or green color when I bring it in for the winter.

I'm in zone 9--planted in July which was late, but they grew and produced. Probably early spring when planting other things would be good.

The trees were planted about 9 months ago in Mariposa CA. It gets very hot there 100+ or - and cold in winter. so far so good. I believe it is also zone 9

This plant grows in bog lands in full sun. They will die if they do not have enough light. I keep mine in a sunny window - south or south-east facing.
