Glad you liked it! I have 5 or 6 of these doubles & a couple of singles as well. They sit on a west facing window in our kitchen all year & in the winter I bring them into the kitchen itself when more than a couple of degrees of frost is forecast.

I really do very little, Janey. I just give them some water from time to time when I remember. The rest of the time they just sit in the window without complaining! On the odd occasion I remember to give them a little fertilizer when I'm watering the rest of the plants, but that doesn't happen very often.
According to a page I was reading about them a few days ago they should be dead!!! According to that page I'm doing everything wrong! What do you think?

You couldn't be more right, Homebird, first about the AVs & also about what you read from "experts". LOL!
