    Do you have lights on that one? I'm a bit worried about enough light for catts and you must have pretty similar weather to Hamburg, right?


    And I LOVE the stripes!!

    I have no lights on any plants. This one I've had in a window facing west since I got it last year around this time.. During the summer I fastened some shading on the bottom 50 cm of the window (I used three layers of that stuff they make wedding veils from - don't know what it's called in english..) to keep the plants out of direct sun. The rest of the year they get it directly, however we have some of those "energy windows" or whatever they are called and they actually block a lot of the light..

    Anyway, just try out those catts! I don't think it will be any problem to grow them without lights in Hamburg. I've just been growing orchids for one year now, and I got this baby to rebloom on the first year - maybe it's just an easy plant

    Edit: Just saw that the shading "cloth" is visible on the first pic on the thread
