Rudsta lighting

Rudsta lighting

I'm thinking about getting a rudsta, and I want to place the lights where the red lines are. At the front corners at a 47.5 degree angle (face inwards). I know this can easily be done with the Milsbo using the shelf brackets including. Has anyone managed to do the same with the Rudsta?

What substrat is everyone growing their Alocasia in?

Alocasia is the genus of plant I struggle the most with. I was never able to keep them alive in my usual chunky aroid mix.

I then discovered semi-hydro and thought a constant supply of water could resolve the issues i was having. At first I was happy because nothing was rotting or completely drying out anymore. But I started to realise that nothing was thriving either. I struggle to grow more than one leaf at a time. And when that one leaf inevitably dies I end up with a stump sitting in PON for months doing absolutely nothing. I'm also not getting substantially root growth. I don't have this issue growing other genus in PON.

I've seen a couple of posts online where people are converting Alocasia back into soil. Clearly PON isn’t working for me so something has to change.

Any advice? If I go back to a potting mix what components would you recommend and in what ratios? I make a water retentive mix for my calathea and begonia with coco coir, perlite, vermiculite and tree fern fibre. Would this work?
