I really do not have an indoor plant friendly house unfortunately. I grow a lot of stuff indoors udner lights, but will not be expanding to large amounts of Anthuriums me thinks grin>. Might try to odd one or two though. This list is definitely a big benefit for finding out about genera we aren't familiar with, and of course finding sources of seed for rare little beasties that we don't have (I have 4 happy little Amorphophallus lewallei thanks to Wilbert, and two other cold-tolerant species powering along thanks to someone else). Wonderful people in these parts!! Cheers. Paul Tyerman Canberra, Australia. USDA equivalent - Zone 8/9 mailto:ptyerman@ozemail.com.au<< Growing....
