Dave,
Thanks for the compliment. This is about the best heliconia for indoor pot growing. Like SteveL said, it will bloom in the first year and that is a BIG plus. As far as how much light, I had it about 6' away from a set of French doors facing south, so they did receive a good deal of sunlight. I would recommend this if you are wanting to try a heliconia inside.
