You need a lot of light, and something to polinate them. I used a
small paint brush (from an old paint-by-numbers set) the first couple
of winters. Last winter, 'cause it was so crowded and I had some
mildew problems, i set an oscilating fan next to the jungle, and that
seem to do a good job polinating them as well.
