Garage Nursery Video

Here’s a quick video of my palm seedling collection that I have set up in my garage. Now that the weather is hopefully switching to a more cozy temperature I’ll probably move these back out to the covered patio. Although most of these look pretty happy in here I need the space back in my tiny garage.

What kind of lights do you use? Your seedlings are not elongated, they look very good and healthy.

@cristi The light I have overhead is an LED grow light I think its 500W equivalent but I don't think it does much for the seedlings. When I take a read with a light meter it’s very similar to what I read in shade in the middle of the day. The older seedlings had spent some time in the fall outside and in shade. Most of these have grown just fine without any additional light in the garage at all. I’m not sure why they aren’t stretching out but I imagine if I gave it time they would start looking for more light?
