Then start to save money for the next EEE in Leiden! ;) Would be nice to meet more forum members "in real life"(whatsthat?).
A pity many visitors had no name tags, I am sure I missed some interesting people...
It was very nice to meet you. Great photos, too.
The botanical garden does not allow photos from their plants to be shown in public places like this, better take them offline. No problems for the pictures with the vendors and their plants of course!
I have been looking for a new flat for about two weeks now - hope I can catch a south or south-east balcony and some windows in that direction. In my dorm the electricity is paid as a flat rate...now that move I must reduce the use of artificial lights!
So do I.
Even my tuberous Drosera seem to ignore the lights and go dormant/wake up in time (if kept less wet...I had problems in the last years but now in drier conditions it's working well!).
dionaea_2006: No your choices are much more expensive and use an older tech which has lower light output. Buy the cheap light colours for more lumen per Watt.
Only if they are weak due to bad conditions. Give your dews three things:
1) pure peat
2) pure water
3) lots of light
See my gallery for some happy plants.
