Weenel, you are right and wrong :>) they are in regular soil with wood shavings on top to help keep in some moisture. Average outside humidity is less than 15%, but then, I haven't been here through a summer yet, and the monsoons might change that. I definitely need to get them in a richer soil then, and I will also add peat moss as you suggest Kathy. Our altitude is just at or under 4000, with a large valley to the north and a mountain to the south, so the frosts roll off, and it is also a tad cooler then down there. Highs so far top out at 105.
I don't think I will even try to grow these guys outdoors, it would be cruel. The winds here are seemingly constant, and until we get some trees growing shade isn't available. The native flora and fauna aren't of the large leaved varieties!
