I keep chinese elms in a closet with a 20 watt incandescent light bulb. 3 hours a day. For air circulation I have a hair dryer blowing on it.
I keep the junipers on the T.V. in front of the heat register.
They all do wonderfully.
Except the Japanese White Pine I keep behind the toilet. I read that too much gas is bad for them.
Who knew?
Anyway,I hope this helps answer some questions.
As long as the 20 watt bulb is in the 800 nanometer range you should be OK. It's not the gas Bro, it's the smell!

Those are some damn nice screen clips. If I send you a kilo of wire will you make me a couple thousand in different sizes?*



* question mark added for Vin's sake.

Where did you get that question mark? From the Riddler?
You can have those clips too. That picture was taken before I plugged the drain holes. Need to keep the trees we under the low light indoor conditions. The hair dryer larches the soil very fast.

Nice one, but you can't fool me. That's foemina!
I don't know why I tried to fool you. If anyone knows foemina it will be you.
I'll go out and look in Rupert's dog house. I think he keeps a couple of elms in there. I'll get some pictures if he'll let me. He may have company though. I saw a cute toad hanging around out there.

I've just recently in the last year or so started to look at toads in a different light.
I think it's the big mouth and long sticky tongue.
Plus now that one is a porn star. I guess I do know a cute toad when I see one.
I have you to thank for that. Now I'm an Amphibiphile.
Frogs ,toads and salamanders. I draw the line at tadpoles though. That would just be sick.

You're correct smoke this is the internet and most people like myself don't type anymore, we use this thing called "Google Voice" and sometimes it picks up the wrong words.
Welcome to the 21st century.
I must be old school, I use these fingers to type, I hate google voice...It's amazing what you can do with your fingers!

It's obvious that people get their stripes here not by knowledge but by posting ignorant comments.
What a waste of forum space......

This only happens when you pass over the knowledge as if it wasn't there.

I'm guessing it happened in the other thread!

"Welcome to Crazy" shouldn't be taken lightly.
