Their growing and healthy. But will grow more to their potential if given 12-16 hours of light and they will be blooming all the time too :))
Chiritas are not heavy feeders they like it more on the dry side. They can also take cooler weather. HHM Maybe I should plant on outside !
And the Cygnets like more moist and like being fead !

You should have seen how small my Chirita was last Fall when I got it. And I grew all these babies I've been sharing with others with my Mom Chirita :))
Here is a Picture of it last Ocotber 2005. I love it had the bloom stalks all prerfect going all around the plant ! The plant was pretty small here. I use to grow it under light when it was full of buds I'd put it under natural light. Now my stand has no room . When I get an empt shelf I will give it to this plant as it's at least 20 inches across one leaf is as large as my fat hand. lol
