Re: Winter Grow
There's got to be something wrong, in a fortuitious way, about the windows in my apartment here in the Boston area. My living room windows face south, and my presumed namwah is still throwing out about a leaf a month with no supplemental lighting and very little direct lighting (because it's too tall). I'm also flowering and fruiting jalapenos in a bucket (these have more direct sunlight through window), and brought guava and mango and kumquat to ripeness as well. I am sure this is just some luck of old windows with little filtering, but it's certainly a pleasant surprise.

Re: Winter Grow
I thought I would post an update on my winter grow attempt. It's actually gone pretty well once I figured out the watering schedule. I did lose a Meyer Lemon but I think it was suffering from excessive flooding before I brought it inside...my Miho Wase orange is doing great though.
No real issues with the bananas. I decided to let one of the HH plants go into dry dormancy just to see if it would come out of it. Other than that things don't look a whole lot different but I guess that is the point....keep them limping along until they are ready to run again......2-3 more weeks hopefully. Oct 2023 April 2024
