Default [IBC] Artificial lighting

Sadly,I must also tell you that the swamp cypress loves
the tropics as well.Usually self induced dormancy and
aggressive in new growth.



Why sadly, Khaimraj ?

They _should_ like it down there . . . though, except for the
Montezuma cypress (which more and more taxonomists feel is NOT a
separate species, but a subspecies of T. distichum) it doesn't
naturally grow down there. Still it gets fresh air and REAL sun,
so it should do fine.

Indoors, it gets neither -- no matter how many artificial
substitutes one might try to give it.

'sustainable growth' is an oxymoron. - Stephen Viederman
