Hi, I have a terrarium with pings in it. They are doing well. I have had a t5 fixture over them but just got a new one and changed from a coralife to an ATI fixture. I want to order more bulbs. Any recommendation on the type of bulb I should get? Particularly what wavelength is best for their...

wow those are awesome. Time to try some turface for me!

I ended up making a substrate from my previous mixture of peat, sand, and pumice and layered the whole top of it with at least a 1/4" of just pumice. The pings are doing phenomenally and I can even see babies growing from a few pedals I set aside the mothers. The soil has stayed wet for about...

What can be causing the leaves to curl upward?

I cannot find turface and am wondering if my soil mixture will work in a terrarium? At my disposal I have tons of peat spanghum, sand, and pumice. I feel like pumice is very similar to turface. Can i just use a large amount of pumice with a ratio of maybe 3:1:1 of pumice, sand, peat? I called...

Thanks! I think I might try it then. I hope the pings I have now will like the change. I do not see how they wouldn't as there roots do not go too deep and I will just transfer them with the little bit of soil they are attached to now. Where can I get turface? Home depot or Osh? Can I grow...

what is APS? all purpose soil? Should i substitute lava rocks for sphagnum? I have also seen turface and wonder about it. Most of my pings look incredible in my soil mixture but I do have a few that don't seem to do as well. I cannot tell if they like the soil drier or it just needs different...

Can anyone also recommend a nice combination of soil for these plants to grow in a terrarium? I basically have them in spanghum, sand, and perlite or pumice equal ratio. I saw some pictures and some grow with what looks like a wet spanghum surface and others have a dry rocky surface. Thanks for...

I have a T5 fixture that holds 4 bulbs I am going to sit on my 20 gallon long terrarium I made. The light has legs so it sits a little above the tank. Can anyone tell me how far away they grow pings under T5's? How far should my light be from my pings. Also, where and what kind of bulbs do...

How far away should i have the T5's from the plants?

Can anyone suggest a good light for growing pings indoors? I want to set up a terrarium in a 10 gallon tank. Thanks!

Thanks! What soil combination should I use in such a small container? Are those found anywhere local or carnivores stores specifically?
