Horticulture Experiments
Day one of my 60 day experiment on my new Dieffenbachia plant. I have purchased an LED grow light and bulb fixture to house the bulb along with one small thing of Super Thrive. I plan on seeing if the plant can double in size over the next 2 months with the combination of the grow light and the super thrive. The plant is currently in a 6 inch pot next to the piano with the light hanging from the ceiling with a cord so that if need be the light can be moved further away from the plant. The bulb gives off a red/blue spectrum with 90% being red. Red light encourages foliage growth while the blue sends the message to grow flowers. However seeing as how a Dieffenbachia is not a plant, as far as I know, that flowers, then the blue light should have very little effect. The light will be left on from about 8am each day till about 7pm each night with watering taking place as needed.
