I've grown D. both ways, and can't say enough good things about
Slack-potting. Basically, you don't have to worry about over
or under watering. You just put the slack potted plant in a
water tray with the rest of the stuff. But to each their own.

>>cold these things can tolerate??
Mine was exposed to, I think, temps between 45-50 F. temps last year,
outdoors in my plastic covered wire cage. It may have gotten down
to about 40, but I didn't have a good therm. then.
