Hi everyone,
I decided to bring a few plants up to grow in the dorm this year, and I was wondering about getting some kind of lamp to supplement the natural light they receive. The plants are 1 U. livida, 2 D. capensis, and 1 N. glabrata (temperature and humidity are not a problem, I've already taken care of those issues). Each genus has its own container, and they sit along a south-facing window (all three containers together take up no more than a foot of windowsill space). As I said, I'm interested in finding some kind of additional lighting since they receive only about 4 hours tops of direct sun a day, and the rest of the day is spent in partial sun/shade. Any advice?
