Default [IBC] outdoor plants indoors

Craig,
Very interesting to hear about the clover doing well indoors. It reminds me
that we know so very little about plants that will survive indoors.
Probably though to be fair we should ask that a "true indoor plant" should
probably grow a minimum of two years indoors. Less than that and the plant
could be in survival mode.
Just some idle ramblings on my part.

FWIW, I have had clover growing in the pot with one of my tropicals that
I brought indoors last fall. Just plain old clover. It was growing in
the pot when I brought it in, and never went dormant. It has actually
thrived there. It figures that it would thrive by accident. If I tried
to intentionally grow it in an accent pot it would probably die. Gives
me some thoughts about trying to cultivate it next winter just to see
what happens. I've had the tree with the clover under regular
fluorescent lights, watering when needed, and monthly fertilizer.
