Robert,

Do your Griffinia ever go dormant? Mine have very health bulbs but they
just shed their leaves. They go through phases of shedding and growing new
leaves every couple of months. They bloomed a couple on months after I got
them in spring but never again. I get a LOT of light in my apartment which
is the only reason why I can grow Aloes and cacti indoors in Portland, but
sometimes I wonder if the Griffinia is getting too much light.

Aloes, orchids, Sinningia, and summer bulbs are in the window
Griffinia and Caliphuria are about 3ft from the window. Begonias are about
20ft from the window.
