Hi all
I have been reading this forum for several weeks now, and have enjoyed reading all your posts and have tried to learn what I can!
I am having some trouble with my plants though.
The set up you see in the picture below is contained on a shelf on my bookcase.
My plants have been there for a few weeks now, however the VFT is turning yellow to black, and my sundews have not got any dew.
They are potted in 6in pots in the correct soil mix, and they are watered with rain water only.
The lighting is provided by 2x 24W T5 Sunblaster lights, which are less than 6 inches above the plants.
The problems I can think of are:
1) Not enough light, as I have no reflectors on the light fittings, which I guess means I am losing a lot of potential light.
2) Poor air circulation. Can this be fixed with something as simple as a fan blowing into the area?
Thanks for any help and advice you can give, I would appreciate it, as I hope to successfully grow these plants!
Let me know if any more images would help.
