Got the shelf :D

[Drosera36]

Thanks a bunch. If only they didn't cost more than 5 dollars

Does anyone know where to get cheap plastic ones? I checked at Home Depot and Lowes, but they won't have them until spring when the get those huge seed columns in.

Ben I have bought those trays/boot trays at kmart for around $5, and there about 2' long.

 

[Drosera36]

Oh, ok. That's good to know. This weekend I shall be going to Walmart and Kmart!

-Ben

 

[Drosera36]

But, now what should I do with my recently-repotted neps? They're too huge to be under the lights with the small plants, and after I get some big trays, they can't stay under and use the lights from above. But I only have two, so I'm not sure I want to buy two more fixtures and put them on the shelf below. Should I just use a smaller light, or maybe just one fixture for them on the shelf below? I'm sure I'll get some more neps soon after I get more money, and figure out the temps on the shelf, though.

-Ben

 

[Jayson16]

Umm forgot do you have another 4' fixture? If you do just hang it from another shelf and put your neps under the light.

 

[Drosera36]

Nope, not currently, but I guess I could buy one. Two bright tubes should be ok then? At least until they get big? How close should they be to the lights? They're both around 4-5 inches across.

-Ben

 

[Jayson16]

Yeah two bright tubes should be enough. Umm i think between a foot or less should be a good hight, but if you see red dots on the leaves that means its to close and burning the leaves.

 

[Drosera36]

Ok, thanks. Sorry for all the questions, but here's another one.

When should I start noticing some 'coloring' in my plants?

-Ben

 

[Jayson16]

As in if the neps are burning or in coloring in your other plants?

 

[Drosera36]

Like coloring of my other plants (dews and stuff). Already, one of my Pings seems pinker.

-Ben

 

[Jayson16]

Yeah it will take awile but you should notice them getting darker in the leaves, but im not sure if some of your plants will change in color wise.

 

[Drosera36]

Well, my P. 'Sethos' has already turned pinker.

And here's my P. 'Huahuapan'. Joseph, does this one color up?

-Ben

 

[Jayson16]

Wow very nice. Im glad everything is working for you.

 

[Drosera36]

Thanks. Do you 'spose they'd have those boot trays at WalMart as well?

-Ben

 

[FarmerDave]

very nice! i can't wait to see it in the future!

 

[Jayson16]

Yeah they should, they have everything pretty much.

 

[Drosera36]

Ok. If only my mom had more motivation to take me...

Sorry that this one's kinda blurry, I can take a clearer one (D. tokaiensis):

-Ben

 

[FarmerDave]

those look good too!

I have to ask,: about how big are those?

 

[Drosera36]

Largest one is about 1.5 inches. The one next to it is about 0.5 inches.

-Ben

 

[Jayson16]

Very nice, are those from seed?
