Nope nope! This is currently the only way this Phal can photosynthesize.


You have two choices here:

• Keep it dormant/force it into rest period - put it somewhere bright but short days - possibly near a window, reduce watering to simple misting when roots slightly dry, no food.
  This should help with flower induction and possibly start several growth points.
  
• Make it grow again - put it somewhere very bright, as warm as possible, only misting as well, but with food.
