I do not know if the colour name of the lamps are the
same here, but what colour of lamps do you use and the
time they are on ? I think you use refectors too right?

Do they bloom under artificial light ?

Please be aware of mildew that can happen under this conditions.

But again great pic's and job A+

ps. Is it a mix or plants with a name?

Thanks,

Yaslan..Hi .. I root my cutting on a heat mat with a lot of
light above it, wet the end of the cutting and dip it in
grow-powder (as we call it here) put it in the right soil
and water it once, after that i let the soil dry out and
only spray the cutting some drops wil go in de soil but i never give it water anymore.
and have patients, and that works for me.
(I spray with rain water btw)

Hia Artic..I had a hobby and that was renovate/restore
classic cars. I was working in my garage for 8 to 10 hours
a day.Many people asked me 'isn't that an expencive hobby?'
and i said yes because it is. But nobody asked me 'isn't
that expencive that 14 tl lamps in ur garage.
But when you talk about plant they do.
I paint to and if i go to the store to buy paint and other
stuff that i need i get a big bill too,do you get it.

Alphons, yes, the TL5 lights are expensive, and so is the fixture, but man do they put out bright light! You almost need sunglasses when you walk in the room. Each bulb is 54 watts, so with an eight-light fixture, it warms up the basement room to about 85 degrees in the daytime, with no other heat source, even when it is 20 below zero outside. I'm going to buy another eight-light fixture next Fall (I'm addicted to buying more and more plummies!) I plan on running each one 12 hours, so that the room does not get too hot. The evaporating water from the plants and pots keep the room at 60 percent humidity. When you walk in the room, you know it! It's just like a warm green house.

I thought that they din't get hot the TL5 but i know they
are not as long as the TL8. I have reflectors too but
i think i gonna try 1.

Btw. The best thing is to let the plant go dormant when they are older as 2 years
and you don't have to use so much light for a x months.
Maybe you don't believe it but i have about 40 big plants
and 80 seedlings growing all on the 3 floor of the house.

I sell seed and seedlings so i make some money for the El.
bill.

I think 12-14 hours is long enough, a plant need his rest
to and leaves can burn with too much light even under
artificial light.

I have this hobby for 3 years now and i started with adeniums.

Maybe i have some room for it but the plants are getting bigger so the space get's less of course.

When you sow a Plumie's let them grow the first year and don't let them go dormant.
The older 1s, let them go dormant and you need less light and heat and it's better for the plant.
You can let stay 2-4 ,months dormant or so.

I was looking for tl5 lamps and sow that every brand of lamp for example 28 watt has a different measure so that makes things very complex when you don't like that lamp, there are adaptors to build a tl8 to tl5 but maybe i gonna build one that is adjustable.

You can't read it but you can look at the pictures.
