I have decided I would like to give them different conditions. Different types of light in 2 different indoor grow areas, ie wonderlight and cfl/incandescent combo. I may may put one outdoors for the summer and keep one inside. One will be grown a a median temp of 77ºF day and 60º Night, my main grow area conditions. The other will be grown in cooler conditions as indicated by cultural information I have collected on the species

Koellensteinia graminea

-Specimen is 10" at oldest growth.
-Appears to have 9 grwoths total, 1 in bloom at time of intake.
3 small white and red striped flowers with yellow centers. Slightly sweet fragrance mid-day

Koellensteinia will be grown in my main grow area in my standard conditions 77ºF day and 55-60ºF Nights. I may need to adjust the temps if the plant stalls. My research indicates that this is a warm growing species

-Blooming growth is 6".
-Newest growth is 2.5"
