Blooming indoors?????

[Uri]

Is my hibiscus blooming or starting to produce flowers???? I’ve seen posts on this being hard if so how is this possible???? All I have is one leap led and one leap uvb in here along with ambient light

Mine bloomed in a room that just had some windows. Sometimes aphids would swarm them though.

Honestly mine also never had any issues either.... Yet there are some going out to buy lights to specifically get it to bloom...

Mine bloom to but I have led lights. What kind of lights do you two have on cages and how many

from what I've read about leap led it's a good grow light

Must be in well lit room or very close to light. T5 ligh doesnt have lumen that you would need to bloom inless it is very close to light. It would take 5 5t to equal the same lumen as one led. Hibiscus are full sun plants. So inleass they are really close to light and in a well lit room I don't see it blooming past the blooms it came with. You can get to bloom from light from window but just 3 t5 there no way

T5HO 6%+6500k dual 46" plus a 35 watt halogen basking light.

It’s not actually that close just cuz I’m raising a young female hoehnelii and need to keep the heat pretty low for what the lights produce I think it’s just leap lights being really good the room isn’t too well lit in if itself it’s not a cave tho

That's one happy hibiscus! I can't seem to keep them happy. They just get beset by all manner of pests right away. Doing my best to nurse one that's outside back to health. Congrats on your beautiful bloom!

Most of us in the hibuscus master race, have to rotate them. I have 1 in cage and 2 out of cage, and just rotate every 90 days or so as one gets shabby.

Rotate not blooming in side. That blooming outside then put inside. People have problems blooming are keeping inside only.
