| Just keep it in your window but dont forget to turn it and some frash air will help it a long too. What type of feed do you give it

If you really need to keep it indoors.Make sure its near a window.with no heat source near it etc.

sure you can get lights but there not cheap m8.The light from the window should be ok if rotated regularly etc.
Might want to lay of the feeding to.until it gets used to be indoors etc.
Back to the lights,A small one/two-tube, 40 watt, fluorescent fixture.Dont think you can really get them smaller then 4 foot.Then you need a stand/fixing etc,Helps to have a timer to.

Anyway the Halide Lights are the best.
