Default What can I grow?

Thanks Sue, Kathy and Diana for suggesting Ascda. Princess Mikasa. I think
I'll give it a try.

My phals and some of the cyms spent this summer outdoors. I brought them
inside this fall when the night temp got down to 50 for the phals and 40 for
the cyms. I didn't know that the standard cyms were so difficult to
rebloom. They've been putting out new growth, but no flower spikes. Maybe
they need more light as well as a big temp drop? Oh well, live and learn.
Hmm, they do take up a lot of space where I could put other new plants ;-).

As far as the temp in my growing room goes, it is consistently around 65-70
at night. On sunny days, the room warms up to about 80, on cloudy days it
stays 65-70. So, on sunny days there is a ten degree temp shift and on
cloudy days there is no shift. This seems to be enough to get the phals to
spike, but not the cyms.

Thanks everyone for your advice.

Chris
