Vickie, I'm in zone 9 but my summer evening temperatures are cooler than yours, on average. I've bought 4 Ae Ae, two of them costing me $100 each, 1 a little over $200, and another about $130. The most expensive and one of the cheapest died while inside, either from over-watering or under-watering.

I'm not trying to talk you into something you're not comfortable doing, but 60F night temperatures is not a good reason for planting them in the ground, IMO. SteveL was encouraging me to plant mine in the ground when I had temps in the 40s and he's been growing Ae Ae for a long time.

Good luck,

Harvey
