Would these, along with other Oceania hailing plants (ginger, galangal) thrive if grown in a hot, sunny, dry climate? Low humidity around 10-25 percent… northern AZ
Thank you very much

Hi! Plants such as this from the moist tropics can be kept in dry climates by keeping in pots in the shade and watering frequently. Since they must also be protected from frost, this gives leeway to bring in for the winter.
