(BDear Tom,
(B
(B
(B
(BThank you for the advice. Anthurium
(Bis a new interest of mine, as I typically have been focused on the tuber
(Bbearing aroids (Amorphophallus, Dracontium, Anchomanes, Cryptocorne, Arum,
(BTyphonium, etc.) But, I am pleased that my Anthurium harrisi has just pushed
(Bout its first flower.

(BI am trying to keep the light levels
(Bthe same as what the parent plant has. The parent is in a whitewashed greenhouse
(Bunder a canopy of tree ferns, orchids and Monstera. The leaves on the parent
(Bare nearly black with silvery white veins. The two $B!F(Bbabies$B!G(B came from the base
(Bof the main stem, where there was very little light penetration, and these
(Bleaves are very pale green. So, I am a little concerned about them being
(Bburned. I have them under my son$B!G(Bs orchid bench, in a high humidity (80%)
(Benvironment, with the orchids that need low light conditions. So, as our winter
(Bsets in, temperatures in my greenhouse run from 12 degrees C at night to 26
(Bdegrees C during the day. I am installing a propane heater that will keep the
(Btemperatures a bit higher. Any further comments or suggestions?

(BDear Christopher:

(BIt is probably not the extent of darkness that is important but the temperature
(Band the degree of humidity. If you bring it up too high in the greenhouse
(Bthe light would be better but it could be too hot. Obviously plants respond
(Bfavorbly to light, not darkness but the temperature control must be monitored
(Bbecause if you have nice humidity with too much light you will develop too much
(Bheat. Alternatively conditions too dark might not work either. Clearly
(Bregrowing sick or weak plants is a slow process some times.
