This is beautiful! I just placed an order for my first streps. Can't wait to get them! Are yours growing under fluorescent lights?

Yes, I grow mine under high output T5's mostly, but some of my extras spill over under cheap T8's from Walmart. In that case I use two tubes because the output is much lower. Streps are easy to grow but do require aleast twice as much light as AV's to perform their best. Where as AV's grown well in 1,500 to 3,000 lumens, streps really like something more in the range of 3,000 to 5,000 lumens. You can trim leaves back by half if you need to control their size so they don't take up a lot of space.

Hyn -

nice to have you back - we missed your photos and your posts. Looks like even a relocation stress cannot stop your streps! And this is a GOOD ONE.

Thank you. This moving and trying to get our house updated for listing is killing me and dragging on and on. And my stress of having to liquidate most of my plant collection for lack of enough space for winter here at the MiL's house where we look to be stuck for a while. Maybe until spring. On top of that one of my siblings passed away this week, so I will continue to be pretty scarce for a while. Pop in when I can!

I'm so sorry to hear about your sibling!

Hyn, so sorry for your loss. My condolences. Rosie

Hyn, my deepest sympathy & prayers go out to you.
