You were right. My VC, which I bought from Larry in early spring and kept indoors, was a sluggish starter here in 6b, but took off like a rocket once it got hot in late June and has been putting out a huge leaf a week.
With evenings starting to cool, I am considering my options for moving it indoors. I might move it into my house, where it will stay warm and get a few hours of light through a window a day. Or, I can move it to a spot at my new office, where it will get probably 3-4 hours of 'direct' light through floor-to-ceiling south facing windows and a few more hours of indirect light a day, then move it back home.
