Hello all! I am aware that this is an older thread but I still like to throw in my two cents when I have a chance. I love trying to grow and cultivate new plants, this spring one of the plants I attempted to grow started from an old packet of seeds I had simply named sensitive plants. I am not sure how many seats I actually started with but I soak them overnight in warm water in very early spring then I put them into clear Tupperware in a sunny windowsill. I now have five pretty darn good looking plants. The only thing I wanted to add to this thread was what I used for potting soil... The mix...sorry no ratios succulent potting soil seedling potting soil smashed up all of the old sea shells I had laying around a small amount of fresh coffe grounds from my morning coffee Took The burnt logs out of my fire pit none of which were pine, I then smashed bits of burnt log off with a hammer and crushed it up into a fine powder and added it to the rest of my soil mixture! I do have one QUESTION. My plants have leaves the color is great but it is now September and I started growing them indoors far before spring even started. They lived outside almost all summer and seemed to do great. The only peculiar thing is, they are only about 1 inch to 2 inches tall! Does anyone know why that would be? Also any comments on my DIY potting soil mixture would be greatly appreciated. I have had great luck with using it to pot all of my of my plants...some required tweaking

I have some under T5 lights that are doing very good. The lights are for vegetative growth at 5000 lumen. I have them 18 hours on and 6 off. The leaves close in the dark and open a few minutes after the light comes on. I do notice after 10 hours or so that the leaves fold up even though the light is still on. I'm guessing they are getting too much. I have them along side my hydroponics and not going to adjust the time just for them. I use topsoil I bought at Home Depot, nothing special. They are not very picky and easy to grow. They go to seed after 3 months or so. The ones I have now are from last Summer's seeds. I had some outside in a planter last summer. I notice in the direct sun that the leaves fold up and on a cloudy day they all open. Below is a photo of them on a cloudy day.

I have bought these at butterfly world in Miami. Have grown one to produce seeds. All the seeds germinated. But I killed all of them. All the plants are dead. Seem to grow best in shade, but what do I know I have no live plants. Good Luck. Brian
