Warm gardens can keep it on a covered verandah in winter; in cool or frosty regions it belongs indoors. Djix copes with warmth better than older types, but it still wants shade from hot afternoon sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil.\u003c\/strong\u003e Free drainage is the one requirement. Set the tuber so its top sits above the surface, as in the tube, because burying it invites rot.
