I was among those getting a 'Hercules' a few years back. I wasn't sure it
would do well outside so I kept it with my orchids the first year. It just
got smaller and smaller. I guess it wanted more light than the fluorescents
produced. Now it is outside by the Chesapeake and seems to
be surviving but is still in the process of coming back--about a foot tall
I guess. In the bed with it are a couple of Callas which are doing
spectacularly well. The soil in Deltaville is very sandy.
Clear skies,
Al
