pereskiopsis lighting and pot size

Post by Johnny dont »

So a month or so ago i purchased some pereskiopsis, rooted them, then let them grow to about 28cm, i have just cut them about in half and am now rooting the new cuttings. I plan on using these tips for grafting, and the rooted ends for growing more.

I had them in about 4cm pots, and under a twin fluorescent lights, the lights are 32w, 6500k, with the lights 35cm above the top of the pots

The pereskiopsises, leaves where growing very larger, 2 or 3 times bigger then the leaves it came with originally, so when i took cutting and i also re-potted them all into 5cm pots.

So is the light just to weak, or where the pots to small and the plants where just to close together? any insight would be great, thanks
The sensation of the vast desert crawled under his skin and the sound of a murmuring brook hummed in his ears. He though to himself, perhaps it had all been a dream, perhaps he himself was just an obscure character, a stranger, in someone else's dream.
