I`m collecting Syngonium species about a year. I have bought all my plants at garden shops, but i have watched pictures about very nice plants, example red leaves and other species than S.podyphyllum. My question is, where i can buy seeds? I havent found good web shop? Can anybody help? Other question is which species of Amorphophallus i can grow in room temparature at all year? As indoor plant?

Ok. That is good idea, but winter. Can i keep winter inside in tank and summers in out? Is this hard plant, i mean if i move to outside and in, how the temparature? Is temparatures change bad?

I`m thinking to buy few Heliamphoras, but the care is intresting. I have read that they need cold nights as Highland neps, how people here do this? Can i put plants in fridge to nights, or how? These plants are so nice, but they seem to be little difficult. Is somkind cooling systems ok?

Ok. Thanks i have to take them to basement, is 0-10 C good for resting? Thanks!
