Hello,
I recently ordered a ton of stuff from brians botanicals... all is doing well, i will post pics of individual plants when i get home.

Colocasia Big Dipper
Colocasia Gigantea
Colocasia Pink China
Musa Basjoo
Musa Becarii
Petasites hybridus
Tetrapanax Papyriferus
Canna Musafolia

in addition to that I got some other stuff locally that cant winter here.

black magic (colocasia), nightshade, huge cannas, Various cacti,
the bamboo was outside all last year and did great so dont worry about that(pics)

I used to have a fish tank with metal halides (2x250 watt). I am going to order some 5000k bulbs for that setup for growing indoors.
I have some south/west windows (four big ones) that i am going to build a rack in front of and also hang the lamps over the plants.
Will this work to keep my plants indoors?

some of my plants can be seen here

Any help with indoor growing would be appreciated. Please keep in mind i cant put up reflective material (mylar) or anything that will look bad. This needs to look like a classy setup or it cant go in the livingroom. I will also put pictures of the room up when i get home.
