The greenhouse catalog photo trick that fools everyone
New growers keep posting pictures of 'shade tolerant' perennials thriving indoors, but those shots are taken in a climate controlled greenhouse with grow lights for 14 hours a day. My neighbor in Portland tried the same setup with a north window and her ferns burned out in 6 weeks. Has anyone else gotten burned by trusting the catalog photos over the fine print on light requirements?

That 'fine print' bit got me too, my mom's peace lily looked great in the photo but sulked by our south window for a year.
