Since it is winter up here in Canada(but no snow ) All of my tropical are in a little greenhouse that is in my basement with Compact flouresents, and normal incandesant bulbs. But all of my citrus and tropicals are doing really well with the exception of Calmondin. Here are some comparison pictures

Desert Rose Oct. 13


Desert Rose Dec. 2 (grew about 3")


Clementine Aug.


Clementine Dec. 2 (about 2 flushes since)


First Flush of navel since inside(under 6400K compact flouresent)


I never imagined that this set up would work so well, there is only a few plants that havene't grown well in it, but the main thing is, it is keeping them all alive for now. I would like to have a hobby greenhouse outside but can't afford it right now. But i will so be getting seeds for flowers planted for spring 06 and then it will be chaos in my litte patch of paradise.

Your babies look like they are doing good.. What are you using as a heat source?

well I am not actually using a heat source for the whole greenhouse because my basement stays about the same temp. as rest of the house, but for seeds I use an old reptile heat mat.
