The good news is they grow like weeds. Well drained soil is best , dont try to feed them to much, as they thrive in poor soil. Just Don't let them dry out when they are small, after that they dont require much. Bad news is they are a tropical plant. Anything under 32 and they are toast. Most people down here treat them like a perennial, cut them back and grow them like a shrub, keeps them from getting tall . Mine grew 15' tall in one year and I have a few seed pods. Add the leaves to salads and smoothies, they have a funny flavor but not bad.
