chelle,

I don't have much prime ( window) indoor space either. The passi's always stress coming in by loosing the majority of their leaves, they put out typical weak growth inside seen in low light situations. I've never tried them under lights but would think lights would help,if a nice sunny situation is not available. Once they can go outside - I should have said that the temp goes no lower than 45F for the ones I grow - they get a trim and will put on much healthier growth. The best I can recommend is to ask/read about the growing conditions for the one(s) you choose. Passi's can differ greatly in what they prefer - lowest temp for instance, some will tolerate lows to 45F, others no lower than 60F and at least one is said to be hardy to zone 5. Size may be another consideration, some grow very tall. How you want to display them, pots or hanging basket etc.I've found passi's to be reasonably priced, so should you loose one or just grow as an annual they are not expensive to replace.The blooms are spectacular and the variety in leaf shapes is pretty incredible too.
