Though I know people who have been tremedously successful growing these plants under "medium" light conditions, both HC and downoi never really took off for me. Once I began increasing amount of light both in wattage and photo period (8 to 9 hrs) did these plants start to spread and sprout more often. In my experience, these plants require higher light to keep them growing and in a quick time frame where you dont simply give up on it. HC and Downoi remained compact in both medium and high lighting conditions.
