My third plant is finally in bloom again, in two years!

The flower was larger the last time, but the shape is better this time.

This one has the prettiest leaves among the three I have.

Nice variation in flower form. How do you grow them in the city, under lights or on the stove like Eric? :D

No plants on my cook top. lol

I grow my plants mostly by the window (south) with some protection from the sun.
I started to grow many of them under light set up (T8) since about one year ago with mixed results.

All three plants of Mystic Isle spent last one year under the light, and they are among those that did well under the light without any strange leaf bleaching which happened to more than half of the plants I moved to the light set up.

I have them out of the light for now to enjoy the flowers. I will move them back to the light once the flowers finish.

Among the things I like the best about growing under the light, especially multiple growths plants, is that the plants grow upright instead of leaning toward one side, which I don't like the look of.
