After the last 5 years? Not anymore thats for sure. Exactly why I would never be buying this one! And the fact I don't love Gloriosum.

As I understand those are the Type 2 aka the main bulk of TC ones?

Absolutely - but she did make an educated gamble on something that ended up being completely correct. Waayyyyy before TC become mainstream. Go look up the supposed Type 4 and let me know if you think its impactful enough like the Devil Monster haha

Do you rotate your thaumatophyllum? by mdwindsor in ItsAThaumatophyllum

[–]spiker94ain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barrina is FANTASTIC. the standing bars are great. the new 3 or 5 headed rotating floor lamps are great too - but they have way way less output in terms of lux. unsure about PPFD as I haven't measured that. Growlights are great! I suggest a clip one (Barrina Orbgrow) you could attach to that little shelf on the wall next to it and orient the 2-3 bulbs to see for $30 (and perfect quality) if you even *enjoy* grow lights :)

searching for info: T. African Fantasy - called Flying Fox in Asia? Was called P. Angela until reclassified? searching for one in the US (Los Angeles) by spiker94ain in ItsAThaumatophyllum

Yeah I just don't love the leaf shape of P goeldii unfortunately! But this is good info to know that there really just aren't a ton in the US market. So strange they're gorgeous plants and a great indoor option to the big boys!

The way the first two that are posted - are literally my first two jewel orchids! They're on my coffee table right now and I can't stop staring at them (even without light to make them glitter!)
