I have a nice little collection of Adromischus: cristatus, filicaulis, triflorus, trigynis, hemisphaericus (two forms), maximus, leucophyllus, and others. I rather like the little plants.

Last winter I had hemisphaericus do some serious growing in December and January, all etiolated, and rather funny looking. This winter, I am seeing it, and several others starting to show new growth. I have a 4' florescent fixture that I could put over these plants for the winter, and I wonder if it would do any good? I would prefer that my plants were not misshapen due to this winter growth. I have no southern exposure in my house, just east and west, with the clouds, sunlight can be minimal anyway, so lights are the only way to get good light.

Other thoughts?
