Thank you. As a vegetable farmer with a special love for tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers, I'm used to burying roots deep. I've raised the plant as per your suggestion.

The instructions for the plant said not to expose it to full sun just yet until it begins to show growth. I have it outside on my roof deck in the spotty shadows of the tomatoes so it gets partial sun next to my herbs. If I see growth I'll introduce it to more and more sunshine.
Unfortunately, we don't get low humidity in the Philadelphia area. I'd go as far to say it is more humid here than it is in the south on average. It just never dries out; the south at least gets dry spells. The Northeast doesn't get the credit it deserves because the average temperatures are lower - it is an armpit here.
