Not a fragrance that I can detect, yet. The first time I had it bloom I thought I smelt something sweet, but it could be my brain. And I grow it in a northwest faving window, it doesn't ever get direct sun until about May and it gets it from the west for about an hour at most, that also depends where I put it in the windowsill, Right now I have it in the farthest spot and won't get any direct light. And sorry I don't really know the footcandles wise of light. (If that's what you are asking.) |

Hi, thanks
No I dont want to know foot candles. But tell me. Does it get uniterrupted dark period at night? I have a feeling mine does not bloom because its in the living room and it gets light from our lamps and such until late at night, and often (because my wife is a teacher) the lights go on again 3-4 in the AM.

It's in my room, and I have reptiles that require the special UVB lights and depending the day (weekdays: those lights are off by 9 due to school, and weekends: off by 10:30.) And at night I have red heat lights, but it is about 5 feet away from the nearest light. So in a way... Yes and No. Sorry to not be of much more help. Oh, and also, during this time of the year here it is still dark outside when I turn the lights on and open the blinds.Again, sorry to not be able to fully answer your question. |

Thanks, what you describe is pretty good. Probably counts as uninterrupted light for the plant.
