My basement foyer is the winter refuge for several My basement foyer is the winter refuge for several plants with one light source (ceiling mounted 4ft LED light): Big Monstera - sees about 300 FC x 14h Small Monstera - 50 FC x 14h Rabbit foot fern - 50 FC x 14h Peace lily - 100 FC x 14h Ctenanthe burl-marxii - 70 FC x 14h - Note: these values are what I'm using for just bare maintenance over the winter. When warmer weather arrives, they go outside for real growth. - #houseplantjournal #measuringlight #monsteradeliciosa #Monstera
Last night, the temperatures dipped below 10 C (50 Last night, the temperatures dipped below 10 C (50 F) so it was time to bring in my big Monstera. It pushed out two new leaves this summer - they are huge! - The size is becoming unmanageable - not because of weight but the spread of the leaves makes it difficult to move through my narrow stairway. - Come spring time, I will air layer the top 3 leaves and continue them in a new garbage can - #houseplantjournal #monsteradeliciosa #Monstera
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"
