so, sun or shade? please advice!

Hi Sarah, They will grow in sun or shade. It may take longer than a few weeks for them to kick in. They will want a trellis or a pole to climb up on. I always make sure to disturb the roots at transplant, otherwise the plant can think its still in a pot and refuse to throw new roots. Once it does root in, then aerial growth will increase accordingly. Richo

Not really, even here in southern oregon the plant tends to stay somewhat green through the winter and returns with vigor as soon as the ground warms up.

I bought one of the small He Shou Wu plants and it arrived very well packaged. When I planted it in a pot it took right off, very vigorous growth. Thank you.

Hi there, with the US-China trade war…. I wondered here’s the shipping base?

Admin Richo Cech –
If I understand this correctly, the shipping base is Williams, Oregon, USA and the “trade war” has nothing to do with it, except if we want to wear sneakers, they cost 25% more!

Can you send seeds? Because I´m in Brazil and i think the plant would die because of the time between sending, clearence and all…

Hello Luiz,
I’m sorry, we cannot send seeds or plants to Brazil. They are destroyed at Brazilian customs and a brochure is sent back to us, stating that these kinds of things are not allowed into Brazil.
