Checking in on my Peace Lily - one of my first pla Checking in on my Peace Lily - one of my first plants! - Light analysis: in a white LED grow light context, you need to specify the strength (FC or µmol/s/m² is fine) and the duration - you can calculate the DLI by multiplying the strength and the duration (along with the appropriate conversions) - For this plant: 90 FC x 14 hours gives you a DLI of 0.8 mol/day, which is quite low but clearly still enough to produce some flowers. With a higher DLI, my plant would have probably produced more flowers but I'm happy with where this plant is and how it has grown for now - The spent leaves on a peace lily don't tend to fall off on their own like a pothos or philodendron so you should regularly cut them off once they're fully dead - staying on top of it will allow space for new leaves to grow (mine has become a bit crowded!) - #houseplantjournal #peacelily #spathyphyllum
A check-in on my Rabbit foot fern (Davallia fejeen A check-in on my Rabbit foot fern (Davallia fejeensis) - full care guide on my website - @houseplantjournal /link-in-profile Yes, it's planted in an actual basketball modified by @thegiveandgrow (painted and opening cut out for the plant) I added the drainage hole Still battling a minor scale infestation. I just cut off these infested fronds as the plant keeps putting up new ones While it's isolating, I keep it in my basement where its only light is white LED. I bought this stand from the CNE (Canadian National Exhibition) at the international market. From my online search, it's called "5 Camel Carved Folding Pedestal Stand"

What a difference 1 month outside can do! My Aeon What a difference 1 month outside can do! My Aeonium 'kiwi' spent the long winter months inside with poor lighting (around 1 hour direct sun and indirect light in the 100-200 FC range) so I was excited when I could finally move it outside. I repotted it with fresh soil and fertilizer (3-1-2) - this photo is one month ago The time outside has been super productive! Each rosette has grown new leaves with great color! The winter leaves (outer most leaves) are plain green but the newest growth (center) is showing the desired triple coloration (green/yellow/pink). This new growth occurred outside in 'Shade' - which is 3 hours of direct sun and sun filtered through leaves the rest of the day. There are even new rosettes growing off the side of larger ones!
