tarev said:If your location in Los Angeles is more inland, I would suggest you grow it indoors by the sunniest window that you have, preferably south facing window. Inland areas like where I live tend to be too hot and dry in summer and much colder during winter. Or you can still grow it outdoors but find some part shade when the hottest time of the day comes during summer, and you got to step up your watering, since Cali is just like that in summer bone dry. Then in winter, if grown outdoors, position it to the sunniest side of your garden. But you may have to provide some winter cold protection, if your temps dip lower than 45F.
If you live more towards the south or east, it can stay outdoors. Check your temps. It is warmer in SoCal than here in my area, during winter. If you are nearer the ocean, you can grow it outdoors but try to find the sunniest side of your garden, I know at times it gets some marine layer there.
Watering-wise, if you are keeping it as a container plant, water thoroughly and allow to drain and approach dryness, before watering again. You may have to adjust watering as our seasons change, and water a bit more often when the warmer and drier season returns. For now, our weather is a bit cooler and thankfully we are getting some bit of rain, so you have to adjust your watering, so the soil is not too water logged.
