More-or-less same scenario as SOOBY ... Herrington's (2010) 'Mayor Of Munchkinland' ... Double fan purchased last autumn for breeding. Although already proven hardy here in south-central Ontario (Zone 4/5?) I didn't want to risk losing it over winter so kept it indoors in a cool room with plenty of light (Range was about 40-50F) FIRST time I've attempted this thru a winter. Actually divided it into separate pots of 1x scape each. Kept it 'dryish' for most of the winter until new growth started to show about mid February with improving natural light.

Then moved them into a warmer room (65-72F) & watered w/weak fertilizer hoping to 'push' them for an EARLY bloom to use on EE & E dips. Gnats got to one pot & retarded growth (Now back to healthy & growing well again) While the other has grown very well (Normally) .... One observation. BOTH plants (Same sizes) are in identical pots & soils beside each other - Yet one has a serious attack while the other showed zero signs of attack - ?
