Re: Hi!
Hello Francesco, good to see an italian on the board!
In your list, I would think Brazilian is the cold-hardiest cultivar. Wich part of Italy do you come from? If you're in the south, all your varieties will probably do OK with minimal protection.
Question 2: This seems fine, but don't let the plants dry out! And make sure the temp. doesn't get much above 30 degrees C. Optiamal temp for most cultivars is 27 degrees C.
When planting them, make sure there is lots of good quality soil around the planting area. Also make sure they don't dry out the first month. There is an old rule that says: "Wait for 2 leaves to develop, then pour on the fertilizer and water."
Ciao
Erlend
