freezing rain today, but I'm noticing that some of the things that went dormant this winter are coming back. Many of them usually don't, but this winter I turned the lights down to 3 hrs/day and the room temp down to 50/60 ish for 2 weeks twice while I took trips out of town.

I just thought I would post - it's so tempting to throw out dead-looking pots, but if you're growing tuberous or rhizomatous gesneriads (or self-seeding ones) it's best to wait.

yah, that's dead foliage and a tiny new growth sprouting out of a mini sinningia tuber (that is invisible).
