Hi Alber, any fluorescent light 12 inches above seedlings in your house will do or just place close to a South facing window. Room temps should be alright. If they start to turn red simply back them away from the light source...good luck with the little seedlings! http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/use...

They are under growlights at about 16,000 foot candles a day and shortly after the new growth the nice green new area is turning a very pretty purple color. Is this nor...
