Rich can you elaborate on the "right place" to grow in a greenhouse? I've attempted a couple and they did well during
the winter and wasted away no matter what I did in the summer.
Well your question prompts me to want to get true data about the location... i can describe it factually, but can only guess at parts that need detail (like temp across the day).. and btw, i am about an hour west of philadelphia, pa
this plant has been in the west facing glass wall, with a small 6" fan blowing over it from about 5' away...
i have active ventilation that pulls from the south facing wall all summer long. The shelf it sits on is directly in front of the glass, with a masonry wall below it. The greenhouse heat is provided by fin tube running the periphery of the greenhouse, with floor fans blowing away from the west wall and the plants location...
all that is to lead to the conclusion that the plant gets a good amount of light year round, a constant breeze, and temps moderated by the masonry and the external ambient temperature through the single pane glass... i'm going to start monitoring the temps in locations where i've noticed specific plants are happy to see what is actually happening there... that might seem obvious, but to date, i've only been monitoring general greenhouse temps in order to set thermostats correctly...
here are a couple of picture... one taht shows what the living conditions around the besseae look like, and another that shows where i'm (attempting) to grow var dalessandroi in a tray... the dalessandroi has been consistent loosing leaves as they get to the point where i'm very proud... that location does get a little more overhead (overspray) misting than the besseae... but the besseae is definitely getting daily (unintentional) misting from overhead plants.
not sure if that is helpful... because as i said... this isn't science for me, it's definitely more voodoo (think dancing and chicken bones

)
