It gets hot in my GH fast, once the suns up and the temps above 0 outside, my GH will be near 100 degrees, or over!
I think it's a combination of heat, intense winter sun and dryness, I don't water enough in water to keep them happy, if I did I wouldn't be very happy, too much water to hual, and it's way to cold to use the hose in winter...
I tend to think that if any of those 3 points I listed where not a factor they would look fine now, but they r coming around quick!

Aren't those wintertime spider mites fun! I bet the basement helps keep them in check too, they run amuck in the GH, seems odora genes take mites well tho!

Update: there now two mini spathe flowers poking out, possibly lendin credit to lariann's explanation...
The newer blooms spathe is much larger, tho no where near normal

I did notice some scent coming from the earliest portora bloom last night, no heat tho...
Last year one bloomed and I crossed it but had to dig it before the berries where ripe... Once dug it promptly dropped the seed pod... Grumbling
I've got some pollen in the freezer from last fall, I bet it's dead but ill still try...
Please tree mail me for trades, I'm ALWAYS actively looking for more new plants, and love to trade!
