Schefflera: The only bonsai you won't kill

Almost any bonsai tree will die indoors. This is a major drag because bonsai trees are awesome. A Schefflera is not technically a bonsai (because they have a non-woody stem? Or some other reason.), but it looks like a mini tree, so it gets the job done. They are a tropical evergreen shrub, which would mean it is bonsai by this definition. "... an ornamental tree or shrub grown in a pot and artificially prevented from reaching its normal size." Anyway, these are tough and do well in low light conditions. You can water them daily, every other day, once a week? It doesn't really give a damn! Scheffleras are a no-go if you have pets that could possibly eat a plant. I have a Schefflera. Its first few years in Ohio was in a south facing window in direct sun. Then we got a cat, the plant was moved to the basement to a glass block window, and didn't do as well there. May have gotten too cold. It was down to 2-3 leaf clusters, some leaves missing from those. I got ...

Beginner Lighting Guide for Growing Succulents Indoor

Basics Succulents work with photoperiodism . They have a trait called CAM " Crassulacean Acid Metabolism ". The stomata in the leaves remain shut during the day to reduce evapotranspiration, but open at night to collect CO2. In short this means that constant light equals less CO2 which equals less growth. This means that you should not leave your lights on 24/7! Plants from cold-winter deserts even need winter dormancy to be able to bloom in spring. The overall idea is to leave your lights on for about 14 hours a day. Look into your plants specifics! Blue light focuses on the growing and development of plants, whereas the Red light focuses on the flowering and budding stages. The blue/red LED lights you see do not work more efficient than white 6500k lights. The overall gist of the colour codes is that you need 6500k lights (code 865) . Less than that will not be sufficient enough for the plants. Some people supplement their 6500k lights with 3000k (code 83...
