    Hi Gabi,
    Great pics. Pretty flowers! Looks to me like your new leaves could use a little more sunlight. When they develop into a lime green color, that indicates lack of sun.

    Thanks for the tip Lizzy. Ive got 5 phals and I grow them about 6 feet from a southeastern facing window, with extra 2x40 watt bulbs on top of them. Could it be too little light? The mature leaves don't look dark green to me, as I've seen in many threads on this forum.
