Thanks, forgot to edit my location.

(WOW!!! at your grow list.)
Thank you. My larger D regia didn't flower yet although it had leaves about 14 inches. Seeds are from the UK, Belgium, and France iirc.
All my plants were in direct sun from sunrise till sunset. Pots are 8 inches tall, and 6 inches wide. The bigger D regia was producing shorter leaves mid-summer. Before it reached halfway down it's size, I moved it to a shady location then growth went back to normal. I guess it couldn't take prolonged heat under direct sun and wanted to go dormant. I kept the bigger D regia a bit dryer 'cause (sometimes I forget to water) and it used to be at a different location in a large black ceramic pot, untill the legs of the table I put it on rusted and fell over, so now it's beside the young one's.
Summer weather can reach a high of 35C during the day, and around 20C at night. Humidity is atleast 60-80% which is good, outdoors.
The seedlings are almost always sitting in about 2 inches of water. They're 10 months old, and majority have leaves of 5"-7". Was paranoid at first, but thought of putting them in direct sunlight and see what happens... The best one's that grew really well are the few that I put in small 3" white styrofoam cups (1peat/2perlite with some dead sphagnum in the mix), the cups were cool to the touch, and sitting halfway in water. I can boil an egg on the one's that has tall dark pots, probably. During this summer, 5 seedlings from the tall black pots died and I replaced them with the one's from the styrofoam cups, 3 went dormant, and 1 that I thought died, grew back from roots, and around 15 stayed 1"-2", out of the 110+ seedlings (and some are multiplying).
I planned to bring them indoors before the weather shows a 0C..., which is what I did yesterday.
Past winter weather: indoor temp is around 18C to 27C, 4" under 4 x 24" flourescent 6500k lights at 16 hours/day, humidity in the low 30C. Death rate was at 4. Fed with Freeze dried blood worms and/or fish food flakes once a week or once a month.
