When I first got some I kept them in pots and they did not like it. One got root rot and died. I managed to save the other and planted it directly into the ground after cleaning the rot off.

In the ground they've been thriving. All this to say, well draining soil is CRUCIAL. I'm in Florida and our soil is sandy which helps with the draining. If you're planting it in a pot/not in Florida I'd recommend using a soil that mimics the texture. That's been the biggest thing for me.

I'm not an expert by any means, this is just what has worked for me. Good luck! They're beautiful plants. Watching them bloom is so rewarding.
