Occasional 20s? Wow! I am in agreement with everything Ann said. I've had these for a while now and they have been rewarding and agreeable plants. Quite tolerant of Texas extreme dry heat and thrive without a lot of water. Definitely a water friendly plant. The biggest reason they are in such big pots is due to the incessant wind here. They have grown well enough that the pots weren't heavy enough to keep the wind from knocking them over. It's good to know they can stay where they are for a while Smiling . Maybe I can control them toppling over by pruning. That's the one thing I've never attempted, so I didn't know what effect it was going to have on the plant. I tend to enjoy plants outside a lot, but inside plants become just a chore. That's a setup for neglect Sad
