"Couple of good starts newt, but it sounds like they will only spend a couple 3 months with you inside then the rest of thier lives outside where they should be. Typically (at least for me) I think we look at "grow them inside" as always, which is what someone with "no other place" might try. If kept in for cycles of seasons, you would need more than a humidity tray and a shop light, as well as better instruction than is typically supplied to someone buying a mallsai. Thousands of dead trees will attest to that."

You are right. I am not denying that. I just don't want him throwing the thing out in the middle of winter as this is certain death. This summer they should definatley go outside! Plants can put up with allot as long as they are healthy to begin with.

Connection with gardens, even small ones, even potted plants, can become windows to the inner life. The simple act of stopping and looking at the beauty around us can be prayer. -Patricia R. Barrett
