Are there any plants you need tested that are relatively cheap?
I could test jacquelineae and jamban if needed, though my jacquelineae was attacked by the bugs from Bergen and I don't know if it'll last. Besides, my in house environment seems to be mainly lowland, as the lowlanders I've moved out of the humid growing area haven't stalled and took less than a week to acclimate, even northiana.
Good to know about the pests. thanks for the heads up. What are the temps in your house?

Temperature for the highlanders seems to be between 70 and 80 day and 65 night (the AC maintains that).

The lowlanders and the windowsill must get temperatures between 80 and 90 in the day, judging only from how hot it feels to just check in on them. Maybe 70-80 at night.

I do also have a lingulata and lowii if you'd like to see those tested. Though I might not be the best for those seeing as I live in a desert.

It's not like I can get it any lower. As I said before, I'm literally in a desert. The energy required to lower the AC to a good temperature consistently is way too high and would likely cause the AC to overwork itself. I do hope to move somewhere else as soon as I can.
