I think keeping a hobby fun is a topic that doesn't seem to get much attention, but it probably should. Hobbyists enter and leave any hobby for a variety of reasons, but one of the more common reasons for leaving typically involves some level of unanticipated work becoming a chore. It certainly seems like keeping the hobby efficient helps to minimize the chore aspect. Part of efficiency also involves finding plants that are well suited to one's own growing conditions, which is I won't try Draculas or Disa. I just have any desire to maintain a refrigerator for such critters, for example.
