African Violets and Gesneriads: My babies, 0 by jmp24

Well, instead of having my baby plants under different lights on every bit of counter space in the kitchen, I hung one big shoplight to put all of them under. All by myself, too, with no help from any man. I am so proud. Not that I didn't think I was capable, it is just that I would rather get someone else to do the "work"...

It came with chains, so I can raise and lower it if I have to...the rule is 6 to 8" for mini's, right? It is just one fixture, though I am thinking now I could have used two, hung side by side....I got two different bulbs, one cool, one warm. Guess I will have switch the plants from different sides every few weeks, because they will be gettting warm light on one side, cool on the other. One thing I find kind of interesting, the leaves I am rooting are starting to show some signs of babies - but only the leaves I have in natural light (I have a table in front of a sliding glass door full of AV's too) I wonder why that is? They are probably getting more light under the flourescents than they are in the window.

Still getting a cart made, figure to have that together by September at the latest. Going to need it when all the plants come indoors in the fall.
