Streps in Hawaii

I successfully cared for Streps when I lived in Montana; now I am on Maui and recently ordered six babies from Dennis @ Neil's Streps on ebay. So far they are doing fine in our slightly cooler "winter' temps, but I am concerned how they will deal with 85+ degrees in the summer. They live outside under a semi-filtered sunshade and are quite happy with their readjustment to a new climate; one has even begun to flower though the blooms look stunted and a little deformed.

I am researching different watering techniques (I usually water from the top just when they show signs of wilting) and will probably try out wick-watering or plastic Oyama pots, as sometimes I am away for a few days.

Does anyone have thoughts of the best care for them when the the temperature goes up? I'm not sure but I think humidity is probably around 70-80%.

Thank you!
