My experience is that the mature plants are much more likely to die from rot than the seedlings. Unfortunately, the literature doesn't seem to distinguish between the two life phases.

He grows them much better than I do... so something to think about. He grows them in the traditional Japanese moss mound, lets the moss get quite crunchy between waterings in cold weather.

They grow as far north as Korea, so it makes sense they can take temps down to freezing! It's a super tough species.
