I forget the thread where we talked about Aroids. Now I have to have Aroids. I have no outside light to speak of, so lighting is necessary on the first floor. Any suggestions. Maybe overhead from the ceiling?

We discussed Aroids in your posted thread on Gardening Organizations. Here is the link. http://davesgarden.com/s/350924.html

As for lighting, I would try to simulate a soft natural environment. I would try to create filtered moonlight, thereby creating lots of shadows.

Many aroids are hardy, some which can tolerate temperatures to about 0 degrees. I'm trying to collect the Aroids that will survive outside in a sheltered area in my zone 7 winters. If you are interested, I'll send you some of the links that I have found.
