Improving Apartment Growing Conditions: Light, Airflow, and Dormancy

Brandon moved to Des Moines apartment, forced temperate plants from dormancy, has mold, color loss, dead flytraps. Jeff Dallas: "You can maintain your plants this way. You just need to get more light to them." Add second fluorescent, elevate pots within 1" of tubes, 14h timer. Keep damp not waterlogged. Use fungicide, change soil if mold severe. Next winter: let temperate plants dormancy in cold window (colder better), return to lights if growth starts.

Good Growing!
