On another note, I got this shelf recently to quadruple my plant space there and I'm super happy with it. Ongoing problem is, though, that that's the best light in the house but it's still not enough for some of the succulents/cacti. I figure I could nestle some grow lights up in the bottom 2 shelves and have a nice boost for the neediest varieties - problem is, it's a very thin spot and I'm thinking I'll have to go custom. Anyone experienced with DIY lighting like that? This site https://yxoyuxinou.aliexpress.com/store/903774/search?spm=2114.12010615.8148358.1.5ee97fbc0cyCq3 seems to have everything I'd need, but it's pretty daunting to figure out wiring/heatsinks/LED controllers [edit] on 2nd thought this is probably way overkill for the job (since it's just 'topping up' natural light and not replacing it) and something like this would probably be fine even if it doesn't fill the space perfectly https://www.amazon.de/-/en/CXhome-LED-Plant-Lamp-T5/dp/B088QVN89Q/ Nosre fucked around with this message at 13:34 on Dec 14, 2020 |

Ongoing problem is, though, that that's the best light in the house but it's still not enough for some of the succulents/cacti. I recently bought a set of Barrina grow lights from Amazon (~$50) based on a goon’s recommendation and I’ve been super happy with them for the three days I’ve had them. Grow lights don’t let you merely “top up” or add to natural light, they’re also really good for extending the photoperiod and getting a few extra hours of “daylight” to your plants. (Pls ignore the mess and the incomplete wiring job, I finished mounting the last light tube last night) trilobite terror fucked around with this message at 17:25 on Dec 14, 2020 |

Very nice, and nice collection! Yea I'm in the EU so my other issue is it's sometimes tough finding the same brands - and indeed, no hits for Barrina in german amazon. The one I linked uses Samsung LED chips which are the best apparently, so seems legit. I totally bailed on assembling them myself when I found these strips which will accomplish 80% of the task for 5% of the effort/time, heh

MY CAMELLIAS have been blooming for a week or three and I am reminded once again that camellias are definitively and objectively The Best Ornamental Plant.

I'm turning this into a commemorative sixer thread to memorialize this momentous occasion( plant thread, 2013-2020). Post a picture of a plant/flower and it's scientific name if you know it (or idk, maybe you just to become compost?) and I will add a pretty plant to your rap sheet. I'll do these tonight (or whenever you tell me) so as not to interfere with your regularly scheduled posting. Camellia japonica 'Purple Dawn' (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Had a great time pruning some apple trees with my giraffe today And thank you for identifying that cactus KS; I was staring at it for a long time at the garden center, in deep contemplation. Camellia question: Any ideas on what causes these leaf "holes"? This specimen is planted out in the garden, semi shade, and a good number of the leaves have these, almost like burn holes, but otherwise it seems ok (despite probably needing more feed and compost, (the climate here in Germany is tbh not great for them either)). I wonder if maybe it's something to do with a sooty-mold that I often see on camelias that spend time over winter in a greenhouse? E. Ah, forgot thread was exploding.

drat, didn't know this thread existed but I guess I never really looked. I do this for a living, and here's a nice Nymphaea odorata from last summer. Will maybe post increasingly crazy stuff later (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)
