Mysore lost two pups which were two feet maybe alittle taller. They both did the same,p-stems got skinny and top of the plant become to heavy and they bent over. Velutina lost large mother plant and medium sized pup to the same,Orinoco pup is doing the same. I have them in a bathroom with no windows. Have the bathroom light on for 6hrs a day or longer,walls are white so its bright. 5 bulbs on a strip and think they are 40watt each. I let the nanners stay dry for several weeks cause the pots were soaked to rid bugs. Watered them twice so far thats it. They have been in the house for over a month. The house stay about 75*.

Any ideas what is going on?

Thanks
