## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are your cacao plants self fertilized? Is it possible to grow this plants indoors? (NYC: Zone 7b)**
A: I did not have any luck with mine. It's dead or close to it. I live in zone 8 I brought mine indoors but that didn't help it. At this point I do not know what I did wrong or if it just will not grow in zone. Citrus is much easier to grow.

**Q: Is it a good idea to put it in a bigger pot when you get it and what type of soil?**
A: I repotted a few weeks after getting it. I used regular potting soil. Began growing like a weed soon after repotting.

**Q: I'm from NH. So how would you go about growing it inside? How big do they get?**
A: I've seen many of them in central America, they get 15-20 feet tall. I'm in south Louisiana, and have one in my greenhouse, in a pot. It's about 6' tall, but it's getting too cold for it, the leaves are starting to yellow, and we haven't had a freeze yet.

**Q: Does this need another variety in order to pollinate successfully?**
A: Well, according to every website I've researched it needs a second to pollinate. I wasn't aware of this when I ordered just the one. I've never seen it bud out or even attempt to grow cacao since I've had it, so I can say from experience.  Basically a house plant that has done nothing.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazed.
*by K***E on December 8, 2013*

This was the most wonderful order I have made this season. Chocolate trees are rather expensive, and this one was very reasonably priced.. But it gets better- the tree I purchased was both very healthy and surprisingly well developed- comparable trees elsewhere would cost you over $50 from many distributors. I am most delighted with my new Theo, and look forward to watching it grow :)

### ⭐⭐⭐ Three Stars

It survived the summer, but then died in the winter

*by J***E on December 4, 2014*

You need a male and female tree, 2 genetically different trees to make cacao pods. They send you one tree. Just a heads up. It needs VERY high humidity too or else it will wilt badly
