My DH hangs them from the apple trees and they love it. Nature them waters them mostly as we live in the NW by boarder and we rain or he waters the every 3 days in hot weather. Hope this helps. I have 75 different ones growing ShirleyAnne
Thanks for this information. I was thinking of placing mine out this year in Spring (once no frost ) and give them a boost! I do water mine year round but not until they are dry, dry. Fertilize spring, summer, fall and winter (once) I did have a time keeping them going at first, slow growth and getting them to bloom. I am deciding to repot them this spring into a little larger pot.
