So what do you all think?

If I have a trellis or lattice work up against a white wall INSIDE the house with a grow light above as well as a skylight, and planted morning glory seeds in a window box type of container, do you think they would do well?

[dunno] Try it, only way to find out... [teacher]
Put some mirror's up first behind it, on the wall or on the lattice... cause, it'll reflect alot more light on to it... [flower] [thumb]

I will be really interested to find out if this works! Keep me updated and I would love to see pictures! Good luck!

I did this one year. It worked reasonable well but I didn't get as many blooms as I would have liked.

I would suggest that you use the miniature morning glories and that you plan to use a bloom booster plant food.

I did mine in a three tier hanging basket. The vines used the chains for growing up.

The wall I am planning on growing them against is the only one of the 3 that does not have a mirror, but the other two walls do and the light always reflects to that wall. It is VERY bright in there.

It is worth a shot though so I will try it and see what happens. Even if I do not get a lot of flowers, the vines should be pretty.

Will use a bloom booster though TK, that is a great idea!
