#95 Recap - When using grow lights, I think you should mimic the length of day, not the temperature

Let's Plant Recap!

Regarding the title, one of the questions that I answered here involved winter. Those in the northern hemisphere, especially those in higher latitudes, would be experiencing a huge drop in temperatures by now as you head into winter. This means that a lot of you would be setting up your grow lights indoors, if you haven't yet.

My opinion is that you should mimic the same amount of exposure, or at least just enough to keep them from etiolating. But with Echeveria and other winter dormant plants, do not give them so much heat that it prevents them from going fully dormant. Try to maintain a temperature of just above freezing (somewhere between 0-10°C or 32-50°F). That way they do not freeze or get frost damage, but at the same time they will still go dormant like they are supposed to.

Good luck with your overwintering guys!
