Lucy, Al,
I appreciate your advice, it's difficult for me to get the right materials for lots of personal reasons, but I'm willing to do the best I can to look after these guys well, I'm aware that it's best to plant on top of gravel or surfaces to prevent them from sitting on soil, I think I should try to raise and move these as soon as possible to a better place and look for some plants that would be better in my climate, we had a heatwave recently, so I had to water at least once a week and even had to move out of sun for a day or two due to yellowing. I wasn't aware that they die after blooming, I read that they flower yearly and grow forever, I've been trying to increase my research and knowledge on these guys for a week now, I don't have much going for me at the moment so at least this hobby can keep me going.
