Water and Humidity
Seedlings and other plants that are placed
close to warm fluorescent lights will require
watering daily or every other day to keep the soil
from drying out. If you're using our Accelerated
Propagation System (APS), check the water level
in the reservoir twice a week.
Your houseplants may require less water if
they are placed further away from the light fix-
tures (room temperatures can also affect how
frequently you have to water). Generally, water
houseplants once or twice a week, allowing the
soil to dry between waterings.
Many plants, including most orchids, require
high humidity as well as adequate water. You'll need
to pay more attention to this when they're growing
under lights. To create a humid environment, fill a
shallow tray with gravel or marbles, set the orchid
pot on top and then cover the gravel with water.
The water will evaporate around the pots to create a
more humid environment. You may need to experi-
ment for the first few weeks to determine a good
watering schedule.
Getting the Most From Your Lights
• When the ends of a fluorescent light tube
darken, it means that the light is aging. Light
output from an old tube can be less than half that
of a new tube. Replace the light tube when this
occurs.

• An accumulation of dust and dirt can dramat-
ically reduce the amount of light your plants
receive. Be sure to clean your fluorescent tubes
monthly with a soft dry cloth.
• T-8, 32-watt fluorescent light tubes can
provide many years of use (up to 24,000 hours);
however; when it comes time to dispose of light
tubes, please do so responsibly. Dispose of light
tubes at your nearest waste recycling center.
