SP>  Congratulations, Rob, you just learned a basic fact about plants.
SP>  Light is food to them - no light, and they starve to death over a
SP>  period of time.
      Yep,  the human eye is a poor guage of adequate light for plants.
      Where we fail completely is in calculating the cumulative amount
      needed.
SP>  My much-neglected AV's sit on wide windowsills to
SP>  catch as much light as possible for much of the year.  Only in summer
SP>  do I have to shade the west window where I keep most of them. And only
SP>  in summer would they thrive in a north window. Most do well in east
SP>  and west windows. My south windows are for real light-lubbers , but
SP>  could be used for 2-3 months in the winter for AV's before the sun got
SP>  too powerful.
