Hi List,

I recently received a single (and so far, living) P.antartica.
A friend had several but fungus gnat larvae ate a large portion of
them, so he could only give me a pot with one left. It's on
it's third true leaf from seed and I'm hoping not to kill it!

Thanks for this bit on their care. Can anyone elaborate some?
I haven't heard anything else besides the above so any info might
help. I take it they don't like heat... What temps are ok, what do
they grow on, should I put it in the fridge for summer, ect???

Thanks,
Dave Evans
