Hello Nexus,

I've had this loph for a couple years now. I fear its etiolating. Can anyone confirm on this? I don't want to lose it like I lost my other l. williamsii.

It gets direct light a couple hours in the morning, though we don't have any convenient south-facing windows at the house. I dont know if I should place it under a fluorescent or what. I like its presence on the kitchen window sill, but will move it if I have to.

The last photo is what it looked like when I first got it. The williamsii to the left is the one I lost.

Concur totally with dg - it is unnaturally green and stretching. Needs more of God´s good sun - introduced gradually.

I guess I only have myself to blame. I have her sitting outside on the back stoop to soak up some diffused light from the overcast skies for a while. It got some direct sun this morning though.

I'll have to keep a close watch on her. Thanks a lot guys!
