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.
