LariAnn,

Last year I traded for two small Lime Zinger pups. I tried to keep them going in a southern window here in western PA but both of them died out around February. I kept the pots and put them outside this late spring. In mid July, I noticed that one of the pots has sprouted a single, small plant with the color of Lime Zinger but the leaf shape of the young leaves is rounded and not typical. Now it looks like there are a number of very small similar plants starting in this small pot.

I'd really like to find a way to keep this plant going for the winter, and will soon have to bring it inside within about a month. Can you offer any suggestions for keeping this alive for the winter? I'm thinking of putting it in a big transparent bag in the southern window, to maintain humidity and guard against me forgetting to water during a busy period. I have successfully overwintered other ee's (Borneo Giant, Black Stem, Illustrus, Saggitarium) but space is very tight and I can't give them a lot of attention. The overwintering plants are much bigger than this one.

Thanks
