Re: [Aroid-l] LED lighting (was aroid recommendations)

From: bonaventure at optonline.net on 2009.01.23 at 16:38:20(18953) Hi Steve, In reply, I do not have a light meter to ascertain the intensity of the light (not sure what PAR means). The 3 plants I put in my small diningroom where I had replaced the standard bulbs in a 3-bulb fixture with the LED spotlights, appear to be doing well (did you get the phone camera photos I had e-mailed to you?). I angled the bulbs together a bit, so they converge on an approx. 3 x 3 foot area at plant level. There is a 12 inch pot of Alocasia 'Lime Zinger' that refused to go dormant after being frost-pruned and brought into the basement, Aristolochia fimbriata that unexpectedly broke dormancy with a cutting of a cool Acanthaceae family vine (I'll find name later), and Miltassia Royal Robe 'Jerry's Pick' that really filled up its 8 inch pot, bloomed nicely, but now shows symptoms of virus in new growths so is being isolated and is expendable for this "experiment". Will let you know more later. Bonaventure
