Would this plant survive in Central Texas?

They love hot and humid.Under 40 degrees bring them in.Hang in shady filtered location. some morning sun but no strong direct light.

Yes as long as you make sure to keep it moist but not standing in water. Also provide it with shade other than early morning and/or later evening sunlight.

i planted mine in the ground and it isn't doing well. It survived the winter [Waco area] but has not put on new growth. Bugs have eaten some foliage. If I had it to do over I would plant in a pot.

I had great results planting this product in the middle of March but I'm in Central Oregon so not sure of best planting date in Texas.

I don't know if it will survive in cold climates. I keep mine in my indoor covered patio which is pretty warm in the summer but could get cold during winter...maybe in the 40's. But my plant has not gone thru winter yet. I got mine end of February and so far it is doing very well. I soak it in water for about half an hour once a week.

I'm not sure, mine is zone 5 where I'm at in Pennsylvania, so I go it as a houseplant. Its doing ok but the plant that they send to you is very small and its going to take a long , long time for it to produce the fruit. No instructions come with it , so I treat it as a Orchid cactus. Sorry that I can't give any more than that.

I live in middle TN & our weather is similar. Put in a large pot , leave it on a porch out of direct light in the summer, and bring it in when the temp starts getting cold (about 45F). It should be okay. I had surgery & wasn't able to bring mine in this winter & it died-my fault. I will get another one in the spring. Also, they are not very big plants. Be sure to google search for the right amount of different soil: high grade potting soil, mulch & I think at least one other. You can buy these at any place that specializes with plants. Just mix them up & plant- DO NOT OVER WATER. Good Luck!

it is a perennial, in Illinois you would need to grow it in a pot and move it indoors when temperatures dip below 50 degrees

I have a Chaya plant but the weather where I live is hot. San Diego is a cold place so I don't know how well it would grow there.

I believe that this plant will take as low as -10. If it does get frost bite I would think that the roots will survive. Does it hit that temp? Pierre...

I would not order this product I ordered it was charged for it and I have never received it and I would just check your landscaping books to see if it would grow in Texas I'm sorry I live in a totally different climate and I don't know

They would survive indoors if they had exposure to plenty of sun or light. In or near a window that gets plenty of sun. Don't over water because they are a cactus and too much will create root rot.

Unsure. It would probably last for a few seasons but eventually it would deteriorate if left unprotected. i have mine in the house with several plants on it and am very happy with it under these circumstances.

I heard about this and hear they reseed and grow easily in Mexico. They are in many Mexican recipes. I would think you would need a good hot summer season and a trellis situation. Save seeds and replant for warm season. Have not grown yet .

Sorry I don't know. I'm a resident of Virginia. Mine is a house plant. Doing very well. Not a fast grower.

Texas is a big place... There is actual a "Pitcher Plant Trail" in East Texas (Big Thicket National Preserve) where you can see hundreds (or perhaps thousands, I didn't actually count). So, clearly in some parts of Texas these can and do grow.

I do not think it is species specific. Anything botanical (or biological) will will / die when subjected to that much heat. Like chemical herbicides, anything toughly rooted will require going back periodically to treat.

Texas summer, my plant is doing fine, just do not place it under direct sunlight
