I'm thinking about trying to grow as a container plant in Vermont. Has anyone else tried this in the northeast?

I don't know how this plant will grow in the northeast, I am in Texas. Here it grows very nice.

I do not know about how the tree will grow in North Carolina, however, my tree is striving in New Mexico. It has taken firm root and is growing quite tall with lots of green leaves. It is doing well planted out side. Desert heat sees to be good for the tree. This is the first yea.

From my limited experience with gardening and deer in the northeast U.S. I must say that any purslane seems to vulnerable to deer feeding habits. If you really want to please the deer plant very expensive hosta hybrids,deer REALLY like these! Seriously though i wish you success in your deer aiding efforts. I'm sure you have a different agenda than North east gardeners.For us question is similar to asking "What food should I leave in my kitchen to best attract and enhance roach populations. Best luck in your quest!

I loved this stuff... grows on the top of the soil so needs lots of water and moisture. but then again I have sandy yard. I live in the south, texas and when we had the drought it died.. I believe because of the heat AND the low humidity... it was terrible.. I have been thinking of planting again..it is beautiful I cannot deny that fact.....

I planted them in indoor containers. They're pretty fragile so far. They are not "bushy" as the picture shows. Mine are single stalks with a triangular leaf at the top. I thought they would grow like the ones in the picture but so far that's not the case. I guess if I bunched them all together they would look like the picture. I'm pretty sure snow would kill them. I didn't realize they could be an outdoor plant until my sister pointed it out to me from a description she read. I suppose you could try. Good luck!!

If you are growing this plant indoor, the winter zone should not be an issue. Just as a reference, I live in zone 7 and still have problem growing this plant indoor. My plant from 9GreenBox is relatively big but I still have problem growing it. The have multiple failures so it probably has nothing to do with 9GreenBox.

It should grow in your state without difficulty. Just scratch the dirt - deep enough to have the seed fall in and then lightly rack over the seeded area, water and you are good to go!

That's where they should grow best. Especially northern Midwest and Canada. This was a very small plant they sent though. The one I got did not survive.

I live in north Mississippi. Any thing grows here. Try it. It can't hurt and you will enjoy watching them grow. Good luck.

Allison, contact Joel immediately. Use only distilled water, not spring water, not tap water and water it in a saucer. Fill it up about 1/3 of the way. That being said, did you check your email? Joel sent a detailed email before our plant arrived. I contacted him a few times and he was extremely helpful and fast to respond. Here's his email address: JoelsCarnivorousPlants - Amazon Marketplace lk5mjrd052j6cyv@marketplace.amazon.com I cut and pasted his directions in the initial email below: I will be shipping your order to you Saturday. Look for it to arrive in your mail beginning this Monday. If you have cold weather forecast for the next few days please be careful to take your order indoors soon after it arrives and not to leave it in a mailbox outside overnight if you receive your mail in a receptacle that is outside so that your plant will not be damaged/killed by frost. If your plants are damaged by frost anyways in spite of my best efforts at timing the shipping for your order please let me know asap. If it is below freezing where you are at your order may come with a heat pack. The heat pack is a white bag with red line on it. This heat pack is not part of the potting soil. Please be careful to NOT mix it in with your moss that your plant arrives with. If you are purchasing this as a gift it will be important to pot it up right after it arrives rather than leaving it in the box it came in for a while. If you purchased more than one plant they may be wrapped together. If you have any problems with your plant(s) or its shipping please feel free to contact me. I'm here to help. If you like what you see when your order arrives you can see more Carnivorous Plants that I have for sale here.--&gt;

I did! It's still small and it took me two tries to get it right but now that it's warm day and night and I've got it in a bigger pot outside it's going great! (I started the seeds in those little Jiffy peat pods, inside, in a tray, with a lid on them, on top of my stove with the light on day and night and kept them very wet. They sprouted in just a day or two.)

I live in zone 8, and I ordered these last year. We got the sweetest asparagus I've ever tasted this year, and the ferns are now 10 feet tall. We have really sandy, acidic soil - which asparagus is supposed to like, as well. Since you cut the ferns back before the frost, I should think they would do well in most parts of the US - just put a really thick layer of hay on them over the winter.

Our temps here in Mo are still swinging dramatically. 70s one day, 50s the next and night temps still dipping in the upper 30s and 40s -if I would order them now I'd go the pot route. If you live in the South and winter temps don't go below 50, I'd put right in the ground. I planted mine in large (very large) decoratine pots and moved into the garage over winter -our winter temps run in the minus temps and only the strongest survive. My friends who had these plants live in the deep South so I assumed they prefer and thrive with the warmer temps dspite their claim that they are Northern hardy Our temps here in Mo are still swinging dramatically. 70s one day, 50s the next and night temps still dipping in the upper 30s and 40s -if I would order them now I'd go the pot route.

Hi I live in NJ and we can get a lot of snow in winter time. I planted mine on the ground and it's thriving well. I also have a bigger one now 4 yrs old. Both are planted on ground.
