Hi Ang. What type soil do you have? I have really nice draining sandy loam so I don't have to do much. I just throw in some compost, water it well every couple of days and fertilize it. But they are spose to grow in about anything. I think I'd wait till after the danger of frost before planting. Then if you plan on leaving it in the ground you will have to protect it next winter. Using the search feature will lead you to all kinds of info on specific questions and topics. They like lots of sun and if you have a place to protect them from the wind it will keep the wind from tearing the leaves. I kinda like a few torn leaves myself. Anyway good luck with your basjoo.

Michael
