Hi Mark,
It's all in the genes. I killed all of the weaker ones so only those which
could thrive with near neglect under some of the nastiest conditions were
left to breed. :-)
I have, on occasion, grown the P. norrisii in pots so I could drag them
inside if winter moved in early. They seem to like damp but well drained
soil. Treating them like my zygos worked beautifully... I just watered and
fed them by filling a large tray under the pot.
Christy
35 degrees this morning. Ouch.
