she's about ready to start blooming. i have her in front of a south-facing sliding glass door. full sun just about all day. bright light (pictured) almost all night. i have been fertilizing and watering. no sign of mites, yet. going to bring it outside and spray with horticultural oil again.

Mine are all packed away once a week I spray them to keep the humidity up been really warm here too warm there confused we go a week or so in the 70's then we go down to the mid 30's and 40's very mild winter. Most are in pots these are too big I dig them and store them bare root
