1) Color difference on stem between the "cotyledons". The stem on the top half above the second set of "cotyledons" is purple-greenish, while the lower half is not..why? [I think I have 2 sets of "cotyledons" because the first set of "cotyledons" didnt get enough light maybe?

2) I got a 30Watt "cool white" on it 20 hours, and 4 hours of complete darkness. Is this sufficient for its young vegetative growth? Or should I go 24-HOUR light cycle during vegetative stage?

3) How often & How much to water in your opinion?

4) How long to keep in the bowl I have it in?

The plant is in regular dirt from outside. I have a small, oscillating fan in the distance keeping a small breeze goin around it. I even talk to it sometimes because it wont argue with you and ppl say it helps the plant grow...


Any information/suggestions that I can get will help alot.
