How warm do the leaves need to stay? I hear cozy but what is cozy? Room temp? Hotter?
I am curious since so many things are moving in doors...I need to know if I can cut down on the grow mats of it I should keep them blazing!
Question on temp for the leaves
Babies and leaves I keep mine 70-75 degree 24 hours a day and give them any were from 12-16 hours each day light. If they get too cold they might not grow they may even rot.. Just like seedling they need to be warm. Even be careful of doors or windows drafts making them cold. Allison
I set my grow mat thermostat at 65 a few days ago, because I was afraid the basement might be getting cooler than that. Only one shelf (of two with AVs) has heat mats, but those violets already look happier.... I think the powdery mildew I was seeing has lessened.
I was actually aiming for temps between 65 and 70 for the AVs in the basement, as I've heard that cooler temps encourage better variegation.
