Yes, even Jordon, who has grown Ae Ae in Florida for 40+ years, has written that most pups this late in the year don't make it so I think that the potted route is the way to go. Baby them and keep them warm. I know you've had some cold spells lately and pots would give you the option of bringing them in during such cold spells.

Jordon also grows his Ae Ae in full sun as they will grow stronger even though the white portions will get fried. He's got a few posts here about his Ae Ae so you might want to search those out.

Good luck!
