Plant care......?

[gotwqqd]

I'm not a plant guy. No green thumb here.

I thought my plants were doing well for quite a while in my glass enclosure 3-4" of soil mix.
Missing 2 nozzle 2 minutes 2 times per day. Mistking.

Maybe time cut up to me. But now my pothos and some other plant are looking poor. Though my schefflera is doing well still.

Initially I had all planted in the soil toward front of cage. Probably a bit more light.
Then I moved the pothos tho a earthen pot and put out higher in the enclosure, divide the schefflera into two and moved the third back a bit.... Less light.
Still 12+ hours of light a day with growth light.

Does it sound like water, light or heat is causing these issues?

If you could show me some pictures, I could give you a definitive answer. Your pothos is probably doing poorly because you moved it closer to the grow light and, more importantly, because you moved it closer to the basking bulb. They don't require much light, especially if they were previously established in a lower light situation. Plus, you can dry the leaves out fast underneath a heat source.

Do you notice the new growth on the top of the schefflera yellowing at all, or turning brown? How far away is the top of the plant to the screen? Pictures would help though!!

This is a pic of Third plant when was healthy..... Looking for pic of latest setup.

This is the page where my plants are repositioned..... It's down a bit in the thread.
The pothos is high and to the left, the purple plant is behind the schefflera on the right

I'll get pics of the plants in current state soon.
