Dear Robin,

Have you tried setting your plant outside?  Does it prefer cool (say air conditioning?)
Sphinx moths and hummingbirds I have in profusion, but I also have an awful lot of heat.

By the way, I grew up calling them hummmingbird moths,  my New York husband calls them sphinx.
Aren't common names wonderful?
