JB--
I feel your pain! Plants are our "babies"--and we have to sit and watch them wither.
I suppose the "Moon" light on the pole is far enough away that my CC's experience some dark.
I have kept them this way forever--and when I bring them in, there are bloom buds on most stems.
I have to say that this winter's blooms were pretty sparse. I did notice that.
However--I was thinking I could drape a black weed-block fabric over the racks that hold my CC's
and see if that helps.
Would it hurt if I re-potted them all in fresh soil mix? Maybe try to make it more fast-draining?
I know it would be touch-and-go as they are kind of fragile to mess with. At
least--maybe I could top dress them with fresh soil?
I don't like to see the mess in the lower stems some of them live in.
This is not the best picture of my Patio--but try to envision the layout.
You can see the light on the post just above the clumps of bushes on the left. I think it has a
60W light in it.
The rack of CC's usually sits near where you can see the last window on the right.
Quite a distance away. The light ay night would be minimal--but, yes--it would be there.
