Thank you!
1)no idea tbh, I got it as a small cutting of 2cm once..
2)I use toothpicks to plug it and a bit of spagmoss underneath the stem. That's it..
The bromeliads we're under the very same lamps before they we're introduced to this tank, the leds made them so beautifull pink(redish) in the first place. Before that, they we're just some green Neoregelia. The problem is that there is a lot of glas corrosion in this specific tank due to the age of the vivarium and the Lack of maintenance from the previous owner. So the light does not shine through nice clear glass as it did before the plants and lamps moved tot this vivarium.. But I don't mind to be honest, It just the lower of the 3 that got to be more green..
My lamps don't differ in color temperature and I have a bunch of different lamps dividend over different vivariums. Only the MID-30 have a different color temperature, I have them in another topic of the 60x40x50 tank on this forum if you're interested in seeing that result/look over time.
To bad you are disappointed in the lights. Imo they are probably the best vivarium leds out there atm, depending on what people want from their lamps. If one needs a lamp to also heat a vivarium, I still recommend using T5 lamps instead of leds.. If someone has frogs that are more shy, I would recommend using lights with lower lumen.
If your local hardware store lamps works good for you, I recommend not to change them. If it works, it works..
