In this video I discuss my lighting concept. I use T-5 HO florescent grow lights 6400k from Walmart. Each tube is 54 watts. I'll explain how Im able to grow healthy lush tropical house plants in low light. And explain how I maximize the plant's ability to engage in photosynthesis by providing the proper nurturance and water in the proper amounts.

Great video and excellent lighting advice. I appreciate the ever helpful reminder to wipe the leaves because indoor plants don't get washed off by rain like they would in nature, and mine get insanely dusty! Also the watering tip is perfect for me as I usually underwater.

Now, i have a question. On your moss pole plants do you add your fertilizer to the poles "or" soil "if" you use liquid fertilizer. I was concerned about the moss breaking down faster if fertilizer was used instead of plain water. I'm new to moss poles. Been busy making them and btw...i love them! Thank you so much for that tutorial. I'm sorry this is a bit off topic. 🌵 Arizona 🎋

Once a month at 1/4 strength. Im not sure about it breaking down faster but now that you mention it, it may, my concern is the nurturance building up or algae (but that might look cool). When the vine is short, I fertilize the soil. As moss breaks down or decomposes its converted into nutrients perfect for vining plants.

@sharonholmes4444 3 месяца назад

@@junglenook I don't think I want algae. When algae dies it quickly decomposes and may deplete the nitrogen levels and may even cause root rot if it gets into the soil. Now, sprouted New Zealand moss works for me! I sprout it often in pots and add a bit to the top of my substrate on my orchids.

I follow Sydney Plant Guy on RU-vid. He has massive plants on moss poles & he always adds foliage focus in every watering. 5ml to a liter. I can’t argue with his success, so I’m doing the same. I love the look of algae growing on the moss! It’s green like the foliage & blends in beautifully. It’s harmless. Good luck on your moss pole journey. I recently started mine, so no algae yet 😢

@junglenook 3 месяца назад

Algae does not cause root rot. What causes root rot is pathogens getting into the root system through wounds. Pathogens require water log soil with low oxygen. And I totally agree with you going over to Sydney plant guy check out his channel if you're getting into Moss poles there's a lot of excellent information there. I have a video called root rot you may find interesting. Thanks for all the support I appreciate it

@sharonholmes4444 3 месяца назад

@@junglenook I still don't want algae. I did look it up and I read it can cause root rot amongst others including fungi and bacteria. 🤔 I don't know and not disputing the fact. I just know it collects in the inside of my clear orchid pots and really smells badly. It's actually gross!!! The light causes algae I realize that and we must have light.

@GreenWitch1 3 месяца назад

Your plants are picture perfect! Two questions…What is the square footage of that room? I only have 250 square feet of interior space in my Airstream. I’m filling it up with plants & these grow lights are intrusive into my living space. I really like the idea of mounting a couple (3) of these on the ceiling. I’m also curious about the energy usage. My power bill is pretty high for such a small space & I can’t afford to double it. I know that may be difficult to answer, but any thoughts you have would be appreciated. Really enjoyed looking at your beautiful jungle 🥰

@junglenook 3 месяца назад

sq ft is about 390 each tube is 54 watts, LEDs would use a lot less power; you could use a combo of florescent and LEDs. Maybe use the florescent in the center of the room and the LEDs to fill in the darker spots and outer edges of the room

@@junglenook Thank you! I’ve been growing plants for 40 years & I’ve had huge collections, but I’ve never grown strictly indoor plants, so at 65, what’s left? So far, they’re doing well with the Sansi grow lights. They’re just ugly 😢

Hello Jungle Nook. I've watched many of your vids several times and love your setup. I have a question: do you use the 3-1-2 fertilizers for all your indoor plants? I have monsteras, philodendrons etc .. and I'm about to gets some grow lights (as per your video). I'm still unsure about the fertilizers to use.

@junglenook 3 месяца назад

Yes it is that is the ratio for the primary nutrients NPK and that's in an all-purpose fertilizer

Is this your house? where do you sit down? plants look absolutely amazing. some of the healthiest plants i have seen. I have a room dedicated to plants. climate controlled etc. i spend 80% of my spare time in there. i dont get many visitors. so now i am considering just making my entire house climate controlled and artificial lighting where needed. But i could not get rid of my Chairs and Couches. they help me relax with my plants.

@junglenook 3 месяца назад

The rest of the house is set up like a normal house. chairs and or a couch would take up too much room in the nook. And Im trying to make the nook look like a real jungle. Thanx for watching and taking the time to leave a comment.
