I live in Florida and the plants grew great and are still growing but I never got any berries yet

I lived inland CA for 25 years. I understand the heat. I have them in Northern Michigan where the summer was under 80. The plants were slow until it cooled to 70 or less and then they went crazy.

Probably very well. I am on the Oregon/Washington Border, it's sunny most all the time and my elevation is about 350 ft. They like it 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.

We are Texas Gulf Coast area. They will will get quite tall--we do not put them in pots. I do not know about your area

That depends on where you live. They require a tropical climate to thrive so in a hot, humid place like Florida they might be able to reproduce in your home. Where I live in MN they probably could not, but I keep them contained to be sure. They are not able to climb glass or slick plastic so most rubbermaid-type plastic tubs work well to keep them.

They do take the full sun, but i would be careful about planting the next few weeks, check you frost zone dates. or protest during freezes. They do start to bloom quite rapidly.

Sorry, I can't help you out. I live in California where the temperature is mild.

I would keep them out of extreme heat. I think they would be fine outdoors if not left in direct sunlight for an extended time.

We live in the foothills of Ca. and it gets hot,95-100 most days in the summer. We watered every 3-days.

They should not be out in the heat for too long. As long as you don't leave them sitting on a porch in direct sun I think they should be fine.

Yes , it needs to be sunny and average temps above 55 during the day. There are less expensive alternatives that will work just as Yes , temps need to be above 55 daytime .

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've had them operate well at over 100°F (mounted in shade). Have not had them exposed below 4°F but they did fine there, too.

Our summer hasn't started here yet, but we get up to 125 F in the summer. So I imagine they would be, but I have some cute pillow cushions on the seat, so it would not be hot. They are so study, and comfy. I bought 3 of them this month.

Hey There, I am in NC but sent those to my sis in California for a present, so I don't know for sure, but I imagine they would do fine at least as an annual as long as it gets full sun. Good Luck

Ulla, I have grown these in pots so I can bring them inside in the winter. I wouldn't keep them out when the temperatures are consistently below 45.

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