Also, if you use google Chrome as your web browser, it will automatically prompt you asking whether you wish to translate the English to Swedish. There's also an option button in the translate prompt bar where you can set it to always translate Swedish to English. Chrome/google translate seems to handle Swedish to English much better than it does some other language translations.

All things in consideration, all of my variegated Neofinetia are closer to the window and my green plants further away. I do not grow under lights Ginger, so my light is variable.

Now that a month has passed with all of my Neofinetia inside, I do notice that the tiger stripped plants, such as Setsuzan are becoming less green. My plants like the Higashidemiyako--the contrast of green and yellow on individual leaves are becoming more pronounced. My Asahiden--the larger plant has variegation but the new fans are all cream, with slight green stripes, likewise for my Orihime. I think these later plants need the most sun. I've been watching my Beniougi, the red striping is still very faint, I am slowly moving it to more light.

You have a fantastic collection & you take such good care of them Matt. You just know what they need & give it to them.

Since I got the lighted stand all of my plants are growing new roots and leaves. They were not doing well with just my window sill light & I couldn't take them outside because of the hungry plant loving critters & insects that live in our woods. I have noticed a stronger verigation in those Neos since they have light. They are not getting a winter rest; there was just no place to put them (according to DH) I had ideas but he would have been the one who did the heavy lifting. so it remains to be seem if I will have blooms this summer. Regardless, I am happy with the fact that they are thriving. Thanks for your good info.... As usual

I don't know if my colletion can be described as "fantastic" but thank you Ginger for saying that. I do try to take care of my plants in the best possible environment I can provide.

You are fortunate with your beautifully appointed light stand!

I am trying to slow down my penchant for acquiring more plants. I suspect, not a month will go buy without me buying another Neofinetia. Even though the weather outside is getting frightfully cold, I'm still of the opinion that a box full of Neofinetia will be fine.

Thanks Matt we all just love our Neos. It is a wonderful hobby. I try make my pots exactly as you described for each individual Neo, ie for my Fugaku I have a pic of Mt Fuji on the pot.

I keep telling myself I will slow down with the purchases I think we all do. You do well considering that you can drive to NWO.

I was seriously out gunned on this OOMUSOU 大無双 in tonight's Seed Engei auction! In fact my opening bid was so small that it didn't even register. In less than 10 seconds, this plant went from $35 to $67. LOL!

Ya, I wanted that one too, but I forgot until about an hour after the end. Oh well.

[MattWoelfsen]

Bidders were highly selective. There were several plants that did not have any bids. I wonder if we will so those plants again?

You guys are turning into creepy online stalkers…
