Are these annual or perennial? Will it grow in very harsh ph (desert) soil if watered?

These are perennials. It will "grow" in the harsh PH but success rate depends on the soil and amount of true non evaporating moisture the plants get.

Yes keep in window or well lit area and water when soil is dry it is a very hardy plant!

I never really "fed" it. I am growing it outdoors and it is just doing well on its own. Just make sure it has plenty of water (moist at all times) and a lot of sun. Humidity isn't an issue since I live in Arkansas.

That's hard for me to say. The dichondra is growing in low light with little water. It's growing well in morning sun with water. I planted this second patch in September and it is doing well as of December. I haven't watered it since getting it established so it's survived on natural rainfall. My mother grew dichondra in El Paso so I suspect this will work in Phoenix. I'm on the Texas coast so we're much more humid over here.

It is generally a zone 8 plant this may be a hardier varitey. I generally dig my bulbs up in the fall and bring them in. Here are some links that may help. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saffron http://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/PHZMWeb/

I have these in a 12 inch hanging pot in potting soil that is about 8 inches deep. It is in a southwestern exposure window with sun in the afternoon, if we have sun, we are in Chicago and we water it about every other day, just a little bit each time. We keep the soil moist but not real wet. No special water just water from Lake Michigan. This is a fun plant as the leaves open and close each day. Fun!

Lemon grass can be perennial if it is grown in a very warm climate....otherwise it is an annual. Hope this helps

I highly doubt any traditional cactus from the Southwest would survive in wet conditions long term. They suffer rot. I am using this mix for potted cacti that I can bring inside during the winter, and rainstorms here in Maryland. You might want to look at the Prickly Pear cactus as one that can handle being out of the desert.

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.

Hi Ron...I would think so...they are pretty hardy. I am on the borderline of Planting Zone 6 & 7, I planted them with Morning Glories...have AM and PM flowers. They are planted on the southwest side of my house. LOve Moonflowers!

I just planted mine in miracle grow potting soil like I always do and kept them in sun light. When the soil is dry I water it. Also when they start to droop that also means they need a little water.

No just plant them. I got four in the spring two are doing real good, two have leaves but smal , two have nice and big leave. I put them in my house as soon as temp drop to 50s at night. They are in my utility room in front of a window now doing good. I thank they like humidity.

Sorry...I live in Hawaii...pretty much nice weather all year long. We don't really have seasons here. The plant did arrive in excellent condition.

I really don't know if it will grow in a hot climate. Keep it watered often and it should be alright.

No! The roots of this plant must have cold moving water over them and you need rain water or distilled. The soil needs to be cool as well, seeds from this plant take a very long time to grow,they are hard to grow from seed.

I planted them in 1/2 Top Soil, 1/2 Miracle Grow. Small pot to start with, bigger pots as they mature. Warm Temp; around 70-75. Same light as all other house plants and it grows. Pretty simple seedling Process.
