Most rubber trees are grown in low light/bright light, I believe. They dont need any direct sun to flourish. Like most house plants, morning sun is tolerated well. I have known house plants (rubber trees) to tolerate dark corners and drought. My sister has a brown thumb. But she has had a rubber tree and a lemon-lime dracaena for a long time. She keeps her shades drawn for at least half the daylight hours, and waters occasionally. Im sure it could survive living with vampires. I know you could keep it alive.

a tree that popped up a few months ago ==>>> that tree is 3 years old.. based on whorls ... not a few months old ... and its up to growing at least 2 feet per year [the leader growth] ... and that will increases as the root mass increases .... it a species pine ... you see then when you are driving down the road.. they are holding up electric, cable and telephone lines ... it should be no closer to the house than 50 feet .. IMHO ... pines are soft wooded ... and break easily in ice and wet snow storms ... ken ps: you need to get in the yard a little more often... lol ...

lily is a bulb ... you might get info in that forum.. if its active .... it has a dormancy period ... and i am pretty sure.. a requisite cold dormancy ... it should have been properly planted in about october or so ... so .. as a bulb.. it could have done its fall root growing thing ... if your soil is still workable.. plant them . one thing for sure.. it doesnt need to be sodden.. all winter long .... that is not good for bulbs ..... if not.. out into the garage ... and put an ice cube on them once in a while.. just so the media doesnt get bone dry ... its a trick to not overwatering with a watering can.. in winter .... or take them back.. and tell them they are not houseplants ... ken
