Grown without Light

Recommended Posts

Hi,

this puppy was dugged into the soil and grew a few weeks without any sunlight. It almost lost all of his color. Actually nothing new but i thought it might be interesting for Newbies to see why the coloration mostly isn´t an apropriate Indicator for ID.

off the topic a bit,

Do you (anyone) prefer to lay your cuttings sideways?

And after you have let them callous and are are ready to plant them. How is the medium in terms of moisture? Do you leave it bone dry or water it in ect..?

I know there is a mountain of stuff about this on the net but they are usually conflicting, ie : one site says moisten soil, one says dont, one says leave in dark , one says give bottom heat.

The chlorophyll is a response to light.

Why invest in chlorophyll or attempt to harvest light if there's none to be found.

for all the new growth knows it could be buried underground still.

It's investing it's energy in growing upward to where the light is.
