ZandriaB I am in the same boat as you, new to all this as well lol I just bought 2 young Basjoo's here up in ohio. They're about 5 in tall still in the starter pots they came in. But I got some larger ones to re-pot them in. Right now I made a small set up in my basement under a stairwell which I made into a small room/closet. I have a t5 4 bulb HO grow light for the space inside. Hopefully these babies will acclimate well. I have a heating mat ready and also put bags over them. Luckily I stumbled upon this thread or else I wouldn't know about how much water to be using for indoors! I heard of a trick to retain heat in small areas is to use emergency heating blankets and hang them up on the walls. They're relatively cheap to get at walmart near the camping supplies. The small room I have is modestly warmer with them, maybe by 5 to 8 degrees.
