Hi there, I live in Minneapolis MN area and I have 2 Super Dwarf Canvandish, 2 Double Mahoi and a Siam Ruby and a newly aquired Blue Java, they are all in the house and have been since October. This year I put them in the spare bedroom with their own humidifier and watered them once every other week up until the days started getting more daylight and now its about once a week and the humidifier is off now too. They are right in front of a SW window and doing pretty well. On the days that are nice they could go outside but too early to stay out over night yet. Hope that helps some, I have had in the past problems keeping them from dying back but their own room and lots of humidity did the trick this year. :goteam:
