* Couldn't find a newsgroup that addresses house plants , so I'll ask here . I have recently started with African violets , and have a question . I have the plants in a bathroom because it's more humid on average . The question is about light , the lights in that bathroom are on 24/7 , we use it as a night light . I got to wondering if this is bad for the African violets . The spider plant in there has been doing very well , as have other plants . There is also a planter of Achimenes in there , and since it's related to the violets I wonder about it too . They're not showing any signs of stress , but I still wonder if this is the best thing for them . Most bathroom lighting does not emit anything close to the spectrum of natural sunlight. Unless your African violets are in a sunny window they will suffer. Even the so called "Grow Lights" one can buy don't really help much. I used to be into African violets. There's a huge store/greenhouse in upstate NY that specializes in african violets, a huge operation, I've been there several times. If you have questions they are who to ask. http://lyndonlyon.com/ |
