No problem growing AV inside, it's just a little too dim for them for flower well for me. I only get a few flowers in spring and fall when the sun is in a better position for where I grow them.

I'm trying Asian violets now. Not sure they will have enough light either, I'm hoping they will perform like the Stephs did for me. If not at least the foliage is more interesting if they don't.


I have now added and pointed a fan at my streps and periodically run it on and off all day. I also put them under a florescent "daylight" 4 foot light. This helps a lot it seems. I also have sulfur fungicide at the ready as well.
