Is Lady Chatterley doomed in my house?
So...I accidentally picked up a Wils. Pacific Lust "Lady Chatterley" from the Death Rack at Lowe's, only to find that the net classes it as "intermediate", wanting high temperatures only in the low 80s. (In my defense, I did try to look it up in the store, but my phone's connection was slow and Lord Oscar was getting impatient. :-P )
Unfortunately, while my winter temperatures are in that range, summer temperatures are in the 90s. My living room has a lot of ventilation (windows on three sides and a ceiling fan), but I don't have any AC.
Is my poor plant doomed? I've put it on the kitchen passthrough for extra ventilation. I could try it outside, but I'm concerned that anyplace that is cooler (for example, under the house) is that way only because it's shaded. Normally, inside and outside temperatures are about the same for me, although outside probably has more ventilation (often in the form of "a howling gale that blows away heavy rubber doormats", though).
