Anna, I'm growing some under the eave to protect them from too much rain and so far that has worked. Mostly mine are growing in hanging pots. I've had the most problems with the summer temperatures which most don't like. I had one rot when we had all the rain in May and I removed it and left the rosettes unplanted in a clay pot sitting under the eave. I didn't plant them until late August. A few are looking like they may make it yet. I have a couple that handle more sun and the heat better, but most of them look better if they have dappled shade in the hot months. I brought those hanging ones inside this week when it continued to rain. They are back out now. I'm going on four years now with a couple.
