Hi Sandra! I'll have to look into those plants you mention..I love finding blooming houseplants!
I seem to have "re-found" my own thread!
I now live in a different city in an apartment on the 3rd floor with a balcony still facing North but I get a lot more sun than I did a year ago :)
I now have roughly 50 houseplants- still doing the Philos, but have really gotten into Nephthytis. I have around 6 different varieties so far and always looking for more.
I also have a Swedish Ivy that I've had for about 3 years now and it wasn't very bushy- that is, until I put it out on the balcony in the full sun this summer. Holy Cow! It has easily doubled in size-I love it! I may have to re-pot it before winter even. But I do have a question- is there anything I need to do for it in order to make the transition back into being a houseplant for the winter? I've read that plants will sometimes lose a lot of leaves when they first come back into the house and I really would like to try to miss that.
thanks!
