bonjour

yes you can grow some ping in your country 'out door',nevertheless you should take some precautions.

- no very sodden substrat( rot risk), espiecially when they are in dormancy
- not under the rain , and in shaded place( or here in europe in morning sun)
- use a calcareous( gypsum) mineral substrat to have a good capillarity and not a sodden substrat.
- make to them a dormancy ( november to may here in europe) with a substrat just slightly wet

I use no sphagnum for the mexican ping or temperate ( except some one)
