Var. Micans progress

Wanted to show the incredible size increase on my micans since Dec 2025.

First pic is the oldest leaf vs. newest. I chopped the oldest leaf off for a better repot.

Last pic is not long after I put it on a support pole in February. She has drastically outgrown that lol.

I am currently trying to air layer her to be able to chop and pot. I’m too scared to lose my size if I chop and prop multiple nodes 😅

New lighting from Rousseau

I got a new track light and wow it is BRIGHT!!

I was debating between Soltech, Barrina and this one from Rousseau Plant Care. Rousseau had a better warranty and adjustable beam angles on top of being cheaper. I couldn’t be happier and I’m excited to see my growth increase!

Also, at this time I only have one light on the track but you can have up to 5! It is mounted 4 feet from the wall. I will be purchasing more lights in the future once I get my custom shelving built. Which of course I will also share in the future!

Negative ~ (but not really) for me and my space this track had to be mounted to studs as these lights are fairly heavy, to prevent falling and damage to my ceiling, or plants! The provided sheetrock anchors would not have been sufficient for my plaster and lathe ceiling. Due to the spacing of the pre drilled holes in the track, and the not to-code stud spacing in my ceiling .lol. I had to drill an extra hole in the track and purchase longer screws to safely secure it. This is not the companies fault, I just live in an old house.
