They are so easy it is ridiculous!
Ok Frank, sounds easy,...
But does it matter if you overwinter them in this way dark or light?
I have got a garage for this purpose, but without any windows,...
So should I try that, or put it in a frost free greenhouse (minimum 5 deg C) without watering it (they usually die there,...). OR should I put it in a warm greenhouse (minimum of 12 deg C) for the winter, steadily keeping it growing?
Kind regards,
Remko.
