wanted to play around with the theme of light and dark for this next piece. so i selected plants that would create an intense dark green background along with other plants that would "pop". so far i am pleased with the effect, but time will tell once when everything starts to grow in full force...

Have some black leaves on the java fern and some holes in quite a few leafs. I have 108 watts of lighting, I'm a lazy PPS fertilizer. Perhaps I just need to be more consistent with fertilization. Looks like a potassium deficiency...
