yes...
as Hetty has mentioned you'll need to supply supplemental plant light to them...and bottom heat will help too... most plant lights will help them grow well... but to flower you need a plant light with some strong waves.. like a HID light.. or a big bank of flourescents... a HID light would be best... [ High Pressure Sodium ] like the peach colored street lights...flowering wave lengths... the bluish colored street lights are good for growing leaves... [Metal Halide ]
by saying planting them out when you leave your apartment... to go outside in the ground... you'll need to move out and far away...[ south ] yes they frow figs here... some are naturally hardy to zone 7 where we are here in NYC.. so no problem..other varities are babied.. wrapped in burlap and in a microclime that helps them survive.. you'll never get a plumeria growing outside here... guaranteed...
I've a few blooms now on the ones summering outside on my roof here in Brooklyn..I'll post their pictures from my laptop.. flowering is a seedling from seeds I gathered from the wild [ ocean side ] in Panama.. you're welcome to visit here if you like..drop me a mail with your contact #... and we'll set it up in the next few weeks.. then they come inside ... about the first of November
