I have to partially disagree. For several years, I grew my
pygmies outside in the summer and then brought them indoors and
put them in a terrarium under growlights for the winter. I did
make sure to keep lots of air circulating and avoided letting
them sit in water. One thing I can recommend is not leaving them
outside during freezes. I did that last year, and am now in the process of
re-ordering from Kamil Pasek!
I think they definitely need to be outdoors for part of the
year though, both to encourage growth and gemmae production. And
they can definitely take the heat!
Happy growing,
Chris
