Copiapoa #3

I sowed the seeds 2011-01-05 in a square 7 cm plastic polypropylene (PP) pot using the “baggie-method”. The baggie-method will be another story later on.

However, they germinated and grow well under artificial light and do so even now. I have been using 36 W compact fluorescent with the 865 color temperature, but I was told that rhey do not make them any more. Now I am growing them under LED-spotlight. Well, this is not just ordinary LED-lights; it's grow spotlights that I bougt from Grönt Ljus AB and it has only blue and red light in a 9/3 mix. The blue is in the 660 nm and the red 460 nm wavelength.

I haven't been using this light for a long time so I don't know if it works well, but time will tell...
