Hi, and welcome to the list Robert. I grow PCN's in Castlemaine (Central 
Victoria, Australia) where the temperatures drop to around -4degC on 
frosty Winter mornings, and frequently soar to round 40C (around 110F) 
in Summer. My first batch of 35 plants, grown from seed last October, 
have not yet flowered, and this years seedlings are ready for 
transplanting. I can not really say how successfull I have been yet, but 
those transplanted to garden conditions seem to be very happy, and one 
seedling has leaves 18" tall. My only flowers this year were a lovely 
large dark purple from a plant I purchased in flower last Spring. I 
couldn't resist 'selfing' them, and have some pods developing now.
Jan Clark, always interested to hear about other PCN growers trials and 
tribulations.
