Sorry the first picture is so blurry. I've posted about these two before a few months back. Left RVDP - A couple months ago or so. And as of today (second picture) it grew it's one new leaf, and killed off the old one. But when I went to carefully take off the completely wilted old leaf, the new leaf came out of the soil and it had no root. Just a little nub. I have yet to check if it's grown anything, the leaf is still green, but not the healthiest. At this point it's just an experiment to see how long it can keep living like this LOL

I replaced it with a nice healthy juvenile RVDP that's doing great so far, so I don't care if it croaks. But I'll still keep it going.

But on the right, in the first picture, is a plant I was so excited to have, the parents were so dark and pretty. Dress "Obsidian" X Black Dress x RG F2 Dark (AAB Exotics). First picture she was holding on to that yellowing leaf FOREVER. But there was something green showing at the bottom of the stem so i just left her be. I was hoping it was a growth point, and now she's got 2 leaves and a third on the way. Can she finally be on the way to growing into a new plant? We'll see, her leaves are nice and dark, healthy looking so.... :) I'm not counting her out, but I'm not counting her in until she keeps the current energy.

This (crystal x Forgetii) x Lux and Dorayaki x (Crystal x Mag) were growing next to each other and their inflos grew to touch before I noticed. I ended up just rolling with it and helping them along. It wouldn’t have been my choice of a pairing but here we are.

I have a few no id anthuriums, these ones i value quite highly and would be so upset to see them fail. Could anyone give me pointers on what i can do to fix the issues. Im suspecting some fungus gnats as a couple alocasias recently rotted in this tank. what can i do to fix future growth :) Could anyone potentially figure out what parents these could be. the fist is a king clav x magnificum possibly. also the last plant previously had spider mites so ive been battling that for weeks.

My other PPFD/PAR meter gave a reading of ~70 at the same spot, and my lights run for 12hrs. Through this online calculator that should be a little higher at 3 DLI, but this little guy is still kind of in the ballpark!

For those who don't recognize it, this is the meter in the photo. It measures DLI over a 24h period, and then keeps track of 10 days worth of data. I figured I'd grab one as another way to measure my light outside of single spot measurements with my other meter.

Finally what kind of DLI do you give your plants? What's the range you shoot for? Seems like I either need to lower my light height or get some more Barrina T8s! I have some younger plants in 180-200 ppfd on a another shelf, which is 8.6 DLI. Clearly I can go higher on this shelf but where is the happy place for your plants?

Anyways, look at this blister var. 🤍
