I’m very curious, does anyone know if this would work well in an indoor hanging pot? We’re in Zone 7b at 6000’ so outdoors overwintering is definitely out!

hi michanne, anything is possible although i would think it would need to be a big pot–these are robust, thick-stemmed. The jiao-gu-lan and the he-shou-wu would be good choices. richo
