Good evening all,

I posted here about this time last year to see about getting a group together
to guide ourselves through some of Sam's flasks of sanderianum. Unfortunately,
an extended illness and eventual death in the family kept me from proceeding as
planned, but I am now ready to get back to work on this.

Going to order a couple of basic flasks (sukhakulii and maybe the new PEOY or
lowii) in a couple of weeks and do some testing before I do the real deal in
8-10 weeks or so. Hopefully this is where I will figure out if there are any
imminent threats in my apartment to small seedlings (ie fungus or pests) that I
am not currently aware of. And if I am lucky, they will be resolved and I will
have all the more seedlings to consume my living space

In the mean time, would love to hear from others about your success and
obstacles to date. I have saved some of our earlier emails and have been
reading the info again wondering how everyone's game plan worked out-
especially in terms of survival rates in the first few months.

From what I have gathered and prepared from last year- seems I am covered
except on the matter of temperature. I am thinking of getting a small space
heater to run in the apartment right by the shelf to keep around an 80-85
degree range (my apartment runs 68 most of the time.) Any thoughts on that? Has
temperature been a big issue for any of you with these seedlings?

Looking forward to finally joining the struggle!

Take care,

Tom.
