Narrow leaves!

Hi guys,

A number of my neps, like my bical, fusca and clip are putting out narrow leaves. I cannot think that this is a good thing, so I want to ask - Is this a problem and what are its causes?

I cannot think of any drastic changes in environment, but there may have been a possible increase in light and maybe a dryer environment (not as much watering).

My current conditions are: Strong artificial shop light on a metal rack, good air circulation, 30 degrees celcius (lowland), humidity around 60-80%, Mix = LFS, cocofibre, pine bark

Thanks,
wezx

wezx,i can only think of sudden hot,humid and longer light day at the moment.we are only an hr.from singapore so there is not much difference. I often mist my neps and they don't show any changes,though.

Btw- it rains almost everyday since 20th feb but never before that. The rain comes late this year.

Yes, but unfortunately for me, i live in an apartment on the 7th story, so Singapore's rain/humidity and light cannot be taken advantage of .

Nooo, im not looking forward to the rain seasons, haha.

Btw where are you from? Im Malaysian living in singapore!

where am from - Kuching, Sarawak. 7th storey apartment-you have the open verandah in front or behind,isn't it? unless your apt. is squeezed inbetween others

Quite closely packed, although have some sunlight coming from in front (sun overhead I think). Not totally blocked.

well,that should work wonderful for neps. Being close to the natural settings. In my case where our house has a garden behind I use 2 layers of nursey shade to blocked off the direct sunlight.The shade works super for the neps.I mist it as often as possible,my mom will mist for me if i am not around .Humidity plays an important part + a preference for well drain medium provide coolness and rooms to "breath" for the roots.
