It takes a few years for the plants to grow in well and the main concern is keeping them warm in winter. We chose to use Lexan Thermoclear over water proofed cedar and only have to use a single small gas heater in winter. The soil was all prepared to be tropical and even though we have many plants in hanging baskets a large number grow in the soil or around the pond and waterfall.
