Overheating from the sun is not going to be a problem. During the winter, we don't see a lot of the sun here and even when the sun is out, it is too weak to generate much heat after is gets through the window to the plants. Drying out is my biggest problem (from really low indoor humidity), followed by not getting enough light when competing with other plants for window space. My bigger ee's keep sending up taller and taller leaves, eventually getting higher than the window, a self-defeating strategy. I guess I'm on the right path, just wish I could start this winter with bigger zingers. Also forgot to mention that I had a start of elepaio about the same size that did much better for me than the lime zinger under similar conditions. Not looking forward to this winter as all of my ee's have done really well with this overly hot, overly humid long summer here. There is no more room for them in the window....

Thanks greatly for the advice. Always like to hear what you have to say!
