Eunice your in Florida so you have heat and humidity !
The Av's WOW stunning you sure can grow them.
The Epsicas look great too.
The first picture the one way on the left sticking out of the pot. Either re-pot it so it is straight and stem all down into the soil. OR CUT the stem off leaving an inch or so. Fill small cup or pot flowing over with soil-less mix. Stick it right into the pot unstil the leaf touch the soil . water good put in non-indirect light.
ALWAYS grow in non-direct light.
The last picture Chocolate Soldier surprising enough has buds but it is in a pot 5 times too large. Re-pot it into a small pot posting into the middle low al stem covered with soil.
Mine are in a window that doses not get much light and in the afternoon gets too hot the sun the shades have to be closed. And it gets hot even with fan and A/C going I have to water them a lot. I've never fed them Soil has it in it...but just never the time. They barely get any care.
Your Blue Heave looks great ! It's a slow bushy grower softest hairy fuzzy foliage. looks great ! So does Alice.
Other than the one in large pot and the ones hanging over they look great ! You can also give them some misting a few times a day. Some people even do this with fish emolsion but not nessary another this I mever have time to do misting.
Just stick them in a window or edge of light stand, window with morning or inderect light. They will be fine !
I'll stick another Chocolate Soldier in your box :))
PS let me see if I can find my thread with step by step pictures.
I have never once had to cover them.
