Answers:    Not in direct sun, as they are tropical plants. They do require plenty of water & similar to a bit of banana skin pushed into their cavities or wherever as this feed them. The soil is not all that important as they in actuality grow in trees in their automatic settings. The rainwater collects in their leaves, flowers etc & that is how they receive their'drink'! We have all ours within pots on a covered Pergola out back
