While you are waiting for your specific answers I will share. We've one of the big ones in 30gal container an abandoned kitchen nook. Under our conditions it requires nothing except water and the removal of one leaf about every 29 days when it produces a new leaf and the old ones dies off.

Thanks - Where? That's what the (9) is for - Zone 9 = Florida's Gulf Coast. They don't sit in water as much as get heavily rained on May-September - some of the remaining months can be drought. (hand watering) but it's the hard direct sun that might cause issue too.... thus the question.

I know mine do not like sitting in hot sun, mine are in containers and only get 5 hours of morning sun, I do have one that gets afternoon sun and doesnt grow as well, its strange that they are called tropicals yet they dont seem to like the hot sun. How about a banana plant they love the sun, and I'm sure you'd find alot of them in Florida.

Thanks - I have a list of other plants (including banana) to go with - I just happened across these giants and thought they look perfect, but it sounds like the direct sun all day isn't going to work out.

Mine consistently thrive in partial shade. Anything more and they begin to fry. It always amazes me when some tags for e ears say full sun - I put them out in the sun and the frying begins.
