They are not be as picky as other plants. But they do like light. I have had mine mid cage and higher and they do well. Currently have 3 different types (marble queen, Njoy, and golden) pulled out of the cage to grow out... They are sitting right below LED grow lights and are doing really well.
Ok, because I was thinking about switching it with the wandering jew plant I have at the top. But I know that needs plenty of light to keep its color. Or maybe swap it with the golden instead? Idk lol
As much as other Pothos.
They all need similar conditions.
Ok, thank you! I'll read those when I get home later
I have been keeping pothos the last 3 1/2 years with my chams. I have found that I literally can place them in any position in the cage and they do perfectly fine. I even used them when I did not have plant lights. I did not get as much growth but they certainly didn't die off or stop growing either.
Ok cool. That was my main concern, that they would eventually die with lack of light. Like right now it just looks like a very dim light is shining on it because of how shaded it is lol so I'll leave it where it's at then.
It should be fine. I would be more concerned about the wandering jew. They really prefer brighter indirect lighting.Ok cool. That was my main concern, that they would eventually die with lack of light. Like right now it just looks like a very dim light is shining on it because of how shaded it is lol so I'll leave it where it's at then.
Hmm ok, if anything I think I have a better place for that one. That one for sure I wanna keep alive because I just love the colors
IME those are pickier plants. Pothos and draceana seem to tolerate just about anything. Hibiscus need a ton of bright light.Hmm ok, if anything I think I have a better place for that one. That one for sure I wanna keep alive because I just love the colors
I think the operative word there is 'eventually'. There are a lot of things that will happen (e.g. loss of variegation) before they're hopeless, and even then they can usually be brought back.Ok cool. That was my main concern, that they would eventually die with lack of light. Like right now it just looks like a very dim light is shining on it because of how shaded it is lol so I'll leave it where it's at then.
I wanted a hibiscus but I don't have a strong enough plant light because I share the fixture with the uvb bulb. I thought about getting a sansi but I'd have to buy a new uvb fixture and rearrange the top of my cage. Which added up to about $200
so far now I just try to choose plants carefully, that don't require very high light
How long is the UVB?I wanted a hibiscus but I don't have a strong enough plant light because I share the fixture with the uvb bulb. I thought about getting a sansi but I'd have to buy a new uvb fixture and rearrange the top of my cage. Which added up to about $200
It's been awhile since I looked. But if I remember correctly, I think I had found a 24" fixture and 22" arcadia 6% bulb for around $70. (I think it was a kit) and I also was gonna get a new heat lamp that I can clamp to the side and angle it for better temps. With that so far was $150. And with shipping from different websites, that's probably where I got the $200 from?How long is the UVB?

https://www.sansiled.com/products/70w-led-grow-light ~$57 (minus coupon)
That's less than $100
What am I missing?
I don't think I looked on reptile basics. I tried reptile supplies, light your reptile, Josh's frogs, pangea reptile, etc lol
