Yes, they grow like they were grass *lol* Some buds are already ½ cm long and developing fast. Last year I was close to toss every one of them out, but I am glad that I didn`t I thought they were deadly ill, but they just needed a little more heat and heavy loads of fertilizers.

Both the temps and the humidity part is easy enough. We simply let less air in.

I constructed it, so that is cheap in heat too. The last month we had only lit up in the wood stove for a couple of hours every evening. The heat from the winter garden did the rest. Usually we would have lit up in the morning and fired tiny bits of woods during the day and then fired much again in the evenings.

Here is a sanguinea from Horticult7 via Rich Sanders. Last year they developed very slowly, but here`s already large shiny leaves and they grew 30 cm since last in February.
