I'm just starting to keep a log of light levels throughout the day on a similar app. And what I've found so far is, if I trust it, my plants are as good as dead. But it doesn't explain why my maranta is pushing out 6 leaves, or the new leaves on the Hindu rope, pothos, cast iron, and scindapsus, snake plant pups, and the blooming orchid. But I'm willing to give it time, especially since this will be the first winter for most of my plants.

Very informative ... I like your method...

[@emptynestgardens9057]

This was exactly the info I was looking for! Thank you, now I need to buy grow lights for new shelving in an open concept livingroom that I didn't think I would need. Happy Thanksgiving from a new subscriber up near Collingwood, Ontario.

My Peace Lily for the last 2 years is placed in a corner of our hallway which gets filtered in-direct sunlight through a translucent glass pane by the side of our main entrance door, it keeps growing 1 to 2 new leaves every month by just watering and if I fertilise, it flowers as well. Downloaded the app and checked the intensity of light at this location, it came to only 8 FC max on a clear full sun mid day.

[@Bgsqlila]

This is misleading. I thought I was going to be able to use my phone without an app. Any recommendations for a free to use , not just free to download, app for iPhone?
