I use a grow light year round. My little greenhouse cabin. :-) I was out on the look for a striking christmas cactus but the violet got me instead. This east window can overwinter plants without a light, but the south can only keep shade lovers, (my fuschias are very happy there). The others aren't quite enough.

Love the white edges too. The edges really set off the color. There is always room for one more :)

The blue is quite startling and all the more beautiful for being set against the icy edging and soft green leaves.

I had to, the size is always a I can fit this, until four or five years later. :-)

Thank you Rkalyan. I've currently just six varieties, also some babies I've since propagated from them. I haven't labeled so I seldom know who's who until the spring blooms. They've had a rough year this year, so I hope to see these good results next spring again. I've an addiction, I'm building new staging for the window, just to accomodate them.
