Congratulations on your plants picking up again! It seems doubtful they'd be getting more light, even if they had been in a shaded location outside. Perhaps they just like the decreased range of temperatures.

It's definitely fun to have something actively growing indoors while everything gets more quiet outside. Keeps my spirits up!

Good luck with the new additions - I'm not familiar with those plants. The Rhipsalis looks very fun.

thanks i should take some photos of the plants for everyone to see.
