Ambient palm lighting


PsyPalm

Recommended Posts

I've been preparing for the long dark of Seattle winter by adding an extensive array of ambient & grow lighting to my palm collection.  Coming home to a glowing palm oasis is the best cure for seasonal depression I've found so far lol.  Adding different types of lighting to a palm's foliage really transforms the look and feel of the specimen and adds a ton of beauty and texture to the overall presentation.  So I thought I'd share some nighttime shots from my collection, I'd love to see the ways you guys have your indoor palms displayed and any and all lighting setups!  Cheers :D

Not sure what order the pictures are going to post but the different palms pictured are: Howea forsteriana (multiple), hyophorbe verschaffeltii, chamaedorea elegans, licuala petiolulata, dypsis lutescens (multiple), lytocaryum weddellianum (multiple), rhapis multifida, rhapis excelsa, chamaedorea cataractarum.

I had so much magenta light spilling out of my apartment a couple years ago I am honestly surprised I never had a the cops knock on my door just to see WTF I was growing...  

I love the ambiance of these photos.  Very cool.

Hey this is pretty cool! You’ve created your own specialized meditative environment there. The colored lights really seem to blend well with palms for some reason. It’d probably be a transformative little realm to go into after a long day.
