Default Re: help with this siam

This summer I bought two 3 ft tc plants and planted outside. They grew like crazy all summer,but when I started to water them a lot more like my other nanners they started looking unhappy. Trimmed the one mother plant down in October and puped like crazy and other mother plant stopped throwing out leaves. One pup got up to five foot. So I dug it up and several small pups. Small pups are pumping themselves last time I was at my parents greenhouse. Which doesn't go below 40 degrees. Large pup is in our storage closet connected to the house. Two 40 watt fluorescent 6500k bulbs,36" fish tank full of water heated. We hit the 30's the other day with frost and the closet was at 70 degrees. Fish tank is not needed but it was free and so was the heater,plants enjoy it. Siam is growing great throwing out leaves and great color. Lights go on at 6 pm and off at 4 am.
