igot two young sikkis off ebay i late november. they survived my cool basement and grolux tubesthrough the winter. I planted them around may 20 and they are growing faster than a same size basjoo planted on the same day. One has developed the red splotches on top andhas a pup. It has 4 foot of stem. the one with all green top leaves is about a foot shorter. I hope they will overwinter.They seem more agressive than basjoo.
