Question on light for Phal's

[frostedeyes]

it could be temperature, or light requirement. or its not yet their season to bloom (if it has a strong parentage of a specie/or its a specie). patience patience patience.

Thanks Donald.

I checked out the Wonderlite. It sounds good. Most of what I read right now seems like greek to me. Guess I have alot to learn!

My Phals are pretty set where they are with low light, so I think they're fine.

I wish I had a hood setup and the space to make a real terrarium, but I don't, and I think my husband would divorce me if I tried. Maybe I'll sneak it in while he's deployed in Iraq next year.

Glad to see another military wife here, and you're not alone, I have lots of plans for while mines away here in a couple months.

Welcome to the OB, I was thinking of a terrarium as well, and I wanted some poison dart frogs, but the answer was no...

So now for the wait!

btw, I love the way you think.
