Hi Gary,
I grow these and everything else outside on my 3rd floor balcony over in
Berkeley. The only plants I have inside are tropical Utric's and Drosera,
and lowland Nepenthes. The weather suits the dormancy of the temperate
species. My usual problem is too much sun in the summer.
Hope this helps,
