Actually yes, these rubras a new to my collection as of last year, and

Roots were great!
I'm going to remove these plants from the greenhouse to a semi shaded
area outside. Our humidity varies between 60-80% most of the summer.
I'll see what happens! I'll keep you'all posted, hopefully this will
solve the problem. Thanks to all of you for your input!
