Does anyone grow hoyas in a terrarium?
Comments (42)The LED lights are from Ebay from a company called LED wholesalers INC. This will be the first time I use the lights for an application other than supplemental light. The lights come in varying wattages but I use the least expensive panels because I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars and I really don't need lights that are that powerful. A 90W LED light is the equivalent of 400-600W HPS light. A mix of red and blue LED's is the best for growth and flowering while white just adds extra brightness. The colour of the light is not very noticeable unless it's in a dark room and the lights run cool/warm instead of hot and are very slim and light which makes them easy to install. I also found some really cool LED aquarium lights that are a strip of lights sealed (water tight) in a tube and are used to simulate moon light at night. I may add two small strips to the inside of the tank to boost the blue portion of the light spectrum under the white panels. I want to see how things grow first but if they look like they need some more light I will invest in some aquarium lights. http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380108250821&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT I think people could be upset with what they get if they don't do some research. If you want an extremely bright grow light you will have to spend the money. There are 1000W equivalent daylight panels out there but they are really expensive although prices are starting to come down slowly. So far I am pleased with my single red/blue panel and my Hoyas have been growing very well under it although they do get some light from a south facing window that is about five feet away. You do need to keep the plants as close to the panel as possible to maximize it's effect. My panel is quite high above my plants but I only wanted it to provide light to the taller plants as they climb their supports. What exactly were the negative comments about LED grow lights? I can always post my experience with these lights after a few months or some time during the winter. If my plants don't bloom or grow well we will know that they are not bright enough.

Comments (42)Kimberly, I'm happy to report we've added a Denver's Dream to our garden! Thank you for researching it. If you hadn't wanted pictures I would have never noticed it. But it captivated me on my trip in May and I have been looking at it ever since whenever I am at High Country Roses. It is always in bloom! So I just got one yesterday. A hand in the picture for scale. Matt picked a flower to show me the reddish underside and I left it sitting in the base of the pot all day in 100 degree heat. In the evening I took it inside (all flattened and dehydrated), cut off the remaining stem and put it in a bowl of plain water. It perked up by morning and is still gorgeous. Did you ever end up getting any from that research batch? Don't feel bad if you didn't. I research some all the time and then decide against them. Occasionally some will stick with me time after time. Denver's Dream was one of those. I also added Calico Gal (finally) after thinking about it for a year....See MoreDoes anyone grow South Africa
Comments (34)Maryrose, I love your Augusta and its colors. You got a good one. What zone and conditions do you garden in? I'm in SW Idaho, zone 7, with a short growing season, hot and dry in summer. I think full sun is best for Augusta here. But if you're in a hot part of California, Texas, or other such places, I think you could get by with morning sun (six hours). But here she is a sun worshiper. Kristine, I did a lot of checking on Heirloom Roses' website. My take is they're not actively selling Bernstein-Rose, and good luck on that waiting list. This is the same for a lot of other hard to get roses--do they actually sell them or just "list" them as remote possibilities. Knysna is gorgeous, Melodye. I've never heard of it, and it's my kind of rose, for sure. Now to do some "research" on it under both names. Thanks for sharing that photo. Diane...See MoreDoes anyone grow Euphoria rose?
Comments (8)I had it a few yrs ago when it was known as JALITAH. (I hate when they change names.) Unfortunately, it didn't survive the Camp Fire. I got a new one last yr, but at my new location, it barely showed the pink edges just at the end of the season. Was mostly just pale yellow. I have horrifically hot summers here, and I think it needs cool weather to get the pink to show up....See Morerouge21_gw (CDN Z5b/6a)
