They can take salty air and even some direct salt water and they keep on blooming. The only thing that I have found kills them down here is if we have lots of rain and the ones in the pot stay too wet for too long. They will rot quickly. Mine bloom year round. I actually prefer them in pots, they stay more compact and don't get leggy. Plus once they get root bound, as long as you feed them more often, they won't stay wet and the rot is not an issue |
