I have asked a few questions about specific plants in various posts, but I wanted to get an opinion from experienced members on whether my plants look or not from the day I put them in to now... about 2 weeks later. My red brom is almost entirely green now, the one 'confetti' plant I mentioned is mostly gone, and both broms have opened up a lot, and some of the very underside leaves are turning on them... the red turns sort of brownish, and the green has one that is fairly yellow. The Creeping Charlie seems to be thriving, and has gotten quite larger. The fern looks about the same, and I can't decide if the burgundy thread has done much, but it seems ok at least.
I do a 12 hour light cycle, and I have a 13 watt zoomed fluorescent bulb, plus minimal ambient room light (living room stays fairly dark through day unless curtains are opened). Temps are between 70-75 all day, and humidity sits around 90, going to 93 at night. I mist daily, sometimes twice, but since worrying about the possibility of that one plant having root rot I have been LESS likely to spray that plant and the burgundy thread too much. They are in ABG, with the drainage layer/barrier/moss etc that Josh's sells in their kits. I have one brom attached with toothpicks making an X to the foam background, the other is floral wire wrapped into a hole in the mopani wood. Neither stolon is IN the substrate, but is touching at least the moss a bit.
Here are two pics... one the day I set up (not with the hood light so the coloring is quite different as it was sitting on my kitchen island) and one today with the hood light on and placed in it's usual room. If you would like me to try to get a closer shot of anything let me know and I will see what I can do.
