To me everything is relative to the growing area. That wonderful looking BOP in NYC has good windows. But that being said, it is growing way too big for the location. So for me, still not the best for indoor growing. Poor thing, it wants to get more light, the way those wide leaves are trying to catch as much light it can take.

It makes sense it has to be grown drier in winter, it would have died if it was kept it too moist and humid during winter period when light levels are much shorter, and conditons still much cooler than normal summer weather.

But in the normal sense of growing it, it needs better humidity and much more light than the indoors can provide.
