Kim I too am directionally challenged!!! The proof being....... after asking DH yet again he says that the window I have the Kohlerias in is a "West" window not north!! LOL

Direct sun starts hitting that window at about 1:00 in the afternoon and then stays until the sun goes down....from May through September I have to have a sheer curtain on the window in the afternoon for the plants sake and the rest of the time the weaker sun just shines in....

I don't grow the pearcea under a dome but it almost died off completely (twice!) before it acclimated to living here at my house. The starts I have done from it loved a dome!! But I wasn't willing to dome the whole plant to keep it. So it was live or die where it was and it finally decided to live.

Look here, my baby chiritas from you graduated to a 3 oz cup yesterday!! They are doing great and Dreamtime is growing the fastest of them all!!
