Hi Jack!!!
Everything is fine here Ambon's doing great! Second big leaf's out
Since a few days it's snowing like never before (last time was in '81)!!!!
15cm layer is on the street. People here are not used to it so: public transport is a chaos, traffic jams and car crashes, slidings all over the place. Today I went to work by bike on the big road "car tracks".
Here;s a pic of the nanner's view outside the window:

btw, this car isn't a Dodge Ram Van...or a Caddy Escalade.....it's a Fiat Punto!

Hi,
it's doing "something" but it is still looking more or less the same so, that isn't bad either! Besides, with more light every day from now, I keep my hopes up!!

Ambon is looking better all the time. I notice my bananas really start perking up in February indoors and maybe the Raja will as well. Of course any additional light and heat wouldn't hurt either.

Surprised to hear you don't get snow that often in Netherlands...not that I know a thing about your country other than it's far north of my latitude( I get lots of snow). I would guess by looking at the map that it is affected by the gulf stream and has a similar climate to the UK. Is that about right?

That last sentence pretty much sums it up. Including the windiness.

Hm, Marguerite, the one on the right will want to be repotted very soon. With a veeeery big pot to allow good growth later in the season.
