I would expect them to survive at least six months of extreme drought. They are succulent and store a lot of water. In your climate I wouldn't water at all until summertime then put it outside. I have never grown one but I witnessed a Baobab over 2 meters in diameter have a melt-down in the Virgin Islands. It literally collapsed into a pile of slime in a few months.
thanks, i will not water it then until they show some movement....did the plant u are mentioning died from too much moisture?
They do not need water until they leaf out, I assume you are talking about digitata
they were boughr as digitata, they were 3 plants, one of them died. The remaining two ones are quite different from each other, one has more pointed and slim leaves and branched out already, the other had more wide and round leaves, the one that died was also like that, they both did not branch out.
I am thinking the remaining two ones are different species, i dunno, for sure they look and behave differently.
