It should work as long as you can keep some sort of humidity dome over them, clip the leaves back about 1/2 way (cut the tips off to reduce transpiration) and mist them several times a day.
One thing I might worry about is heat - you might cook the little beauties in the hot sun, but a dome is a must.

Oh, and welcome to RIU.

Yeah I do it out here in the North, I usually come every couple days and mist and make sure the pellets/ soil is moist and it always works. Especially when the plant comes from outside to begin with, it can usually take the sun fairly well. Humidity is def a must though!
