Still not worth the risk.....
The Dwarf Red sword sucker was at 58-65 degrees with a front row seat to a southern walkout exposure since mid Oct.
Here is mine...Today, I moved this plant to a continous 71-78 f. with some supplemental cfl lighting
The plant is next to some ferns and some Mekong pups and colocasia and succulents.
My hydroponic Dc is in the same area.....Living large.
The heat should cause the plant to push a leaf or two in about 30-48 days.........I hope.

Update ...
For me this is an absolute bonus.
After moving this plant to a warmer grow area with cfl lights(nothing special)...it has decided to pop a few leaves after 120 days-+ .
Plant is a Dwarf red Brazillian planted in a small container and the soilless mix is an Al's gritty mix recipe with charcoal.
The mix was salted with Espoma Tomato tone and watered very sparingly.
Nothing ventured nothing gained..........I should have said that at the beginning....
But I also have a lot of failures too.
