Indoor Gardening and Houseplants: My Fluorescent Corner, 1 by timmijo

Hey, thought I would share something I kind of just slapped together. Since I have an empty 50-gal fish aquarium and a double-tube 48" fluorescent bulb fixture, I placed the plants inside the tank, then simply rested the light fixture on top. I use wood blocks to vary the heights of the plants. The light overhangs the tank, so there's room on the sides for more plants.

Crude, but gives me lots of pleasure in the winter.

About twice a day, I mist. The plants love it.

Any suggestions about increasing the humidity further .... and how close to the light bulbs is too close?

Thanks,
TJ
