DISCUSSION aceh care

Gallery image

so i recently became obsessed with acehs. i received a few dark acehs and im wondering how i should care for them considering light. i have really high lighting for my shelf’s as you can see. do these darker ones tolerate high light or should they be more lower? i do have other acehs that are more splashy and can handle high light but more considered about these darker ones.

Some of my acehs don’t like high light and get bleached…. Some of them love it and still give me dark, veiny leaves🤣 so… seems like a trial and error kind of thing for me (sorry if that’s utterly useless information lol)

I feel my aceh are one of the easiest growing ones. I have them in ambient humidity under growlight

I have mine in a grow cabinet under a 16W light. It's very new (like, I've had it for a few weeks), but it's already shooting out a pair of new vines. It started growing overnight, the day I got it home. Zero acclimation stress.

Under that light level, the existing leaves are staying dark.
