[IBC] Artificial lighting
Manuael:
As far as the Buttonwood, I had the same experience with leaf scorch, so I am also growing mine indoors. I did put the Buttonwood in an enclosed structure, like a mini greenhouse (I call it my ICU) for over a month and it recovered from its bout with the sun.... Now that it is recovered I water it and fertilize the Buttonwood with a 1/4 tsp of Miracid for five days and two days with plain water to wash any salt build up. I also keep my Buttonwood on a propagation mat, since it loves to have warm feet! Carl L.

I am encouraged that Mom can grow them in WV since I live in Colorado and hope to keep mine alive. Currently it is outside in a tray filled with 2 to 3 inches of water. I can not advise you unfortunately on how to best grow them inside. I can tell you that I have a bookshelf with a florescent bulb (tye that go under cabinets) to provide additional light. I have been growing for the past year under these lights a Buttonwood and Sheferela. Both of which are doing quiet well. The Button wood, which I was told would not do well in this climate is recovering quite well in this cbine from some leaf scorch that it received outside as I was trying to acamatize it to outdoor conditions ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Mike Page ++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
