i am expecting a 30 watt 5000K color temp CFL bulb any day now for help with seedling lighting. I have a south facing window here in my room too, although its only about 30" wide, thus my needing to get the CFL bulb.

Ive heard that its quite the challenge to keep heuchera alive indoors though, mostly because of its humidity needs. i may can get away with the lighting seeing as the sun is not as intense, and its a part shade type plant, and then just turn the bulb back on when the sun gets off of them.

Ive actually had quite a bit of luck keeping a coleus plant in here and doing well, i give it a good water misting several times daily, and it gets indoor sun from around 1PM - 4PM so perhaps i can do pretty decent with the heuchera. :)

(the viola seedlings to the right will be well out of here and planted outside by the time i need to bring in the heuchera, so there will still be some good room for them)
