(BDear Tom,
(B
(B
(B
(BThank you for the advice. Anthurium is a new interest of mine, as I
(Btypically have been focused on the tuber bearing aroids (Amorphophallus,
(BDracontium, Anchomanes, Cryptocorne, Arum, Typhonium, etc.) But, I am pleased
(Bthat my Anthurium harrisi has just pushed out its first flower.

(BI am trying to keep the light levels the same as what the parent plant
(Bhas. The parent is in a whitewashed greenhouse under a canopy of tree ferns,
(Borchids and Monstera. The leaves on the parent are nearly black with silvery
(Bwhite veins. The two $B!F(Bbabies$B!G(B came from the base of the main stem, where there
(Bwas very little light penetration, and these leaves are very pale green. So, I
(Bam a little concerned about them being burned. I have them under my son$B!G(Bs
(Borchid bench, in a high humidity (80%) environment, with the orchids that need
(Blow light conditions. So, as our winter sets in, temperatures in my greenhouse run
(Bfrom 12 degrees C at night to 26 degrees C during the day. I am installing a
(Bpropane heater that will keep the temperatures a bit higher. Any further
(Bcomments or suggestions?

(BDear Christopher:
(B
(B
(B
(B
(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.
