UV light

[pon14]

MY windows block out UV light, is that a problem for my CP's?

 

[jm82792]

Doubt it

They may not grow as well. I would assume they photosynthesize across the UV spectrum.

 

[pon14]

umm, ok

Coloration may be a little less intense.

 

[pon14]

but if it won't kill thats ok

 

[kruegersc4]

And it probably won't.

 

[jimscott]

Which ones? A VFT will fare poorly, eventually. A D. capensis will still do well.

 

[bpullin]

Full spectrum is always best. If you can put them somewhere outside that would be great. Your UV shielded windows would probably be okay during winter when growth would slow down. Can you maybe supplement with a small grow light, just to replace what is being blocked?

I asked SN and they said it was fine

Then why did you ask us?

xvart.

Because I didn't get a reply about the question until after I asked it
