Here's the deal. I live in an area that has had an average of 4" of rain a year for the last several years. It is hot and it is dry. So, all of my brug babies were very happy in the mild winter. It is 95 today and they are toasty. I have 2 in the ground and many in 5 gal pots. I cannot seem to keep 5 gal pots wet enough to make them happy in hot weather. To add insult to injury. There is not a bud to be seen on these things.

Do I just keep what I can reasonably put in the ground? How big a pot would they need to survive in the summer?
