The light scale

Scale in µmol/m²/s, linear from 0 to 800. Lux are read as daylight: 1 µmol/m²/s is about 54 lux.

  • Very dim: up to 25
  • Dim to medium: 25–100
  • Bright, no direct midday sun: 100–300
  • Some direct sun: 300–700
  • Direct sun: above 700

Hold a phone light-meter app at the leaf, by day. Lux are read as daylight: 1 µmol/m²/s is about 54 lux. Try , , or lux.

Care

Propagation

  • Seed of Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum covered at twice its diameter emerged at 80–91 % in five media; covered at four times its diameter it emerged more slowly and, in two of the media, at only 18–22 %.
