New barrina lights and time-lapse setup
A couple of weeks ago I rearranged my plant shelf and added some Barrina lights. I created a space just for the time-lapse camera to sit. The arm light is now the flash. First picture is the before. Second picture is after. Third picture is the top shelf. Fourth picture is the middle shelf. Fifth picture is the bottom shelf. Look below in the comments for a picture of the time-lapse setup. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #SucculentLove #WhatTheSuccWednesday #WhatTheSucc #PlantTherapy #plantphotoclub #plantphotography

@jaysjungle we actually bought that while on vacation in FL. We were visiting the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota. Funny thing is that we had left the gardens and kept talking about how much we liked the shelf. We ended up turning around and going back to buy it. The gardens is where my oldest air plant came from.
@TwistedThreads thank you! I have several windows around the house stuffed full of plants as well. I guess the term would be âcrazy succulent ladyâ! ðĪĢ
@PurpleSucculent The Selby Botanical gardens is an absolutely amazing place but I think one can only really enjoy it when itâs not so awfully hot ðĨĩ! I was there this past December fabulous weather!
Looks incredible! ðŪ ðð―
I can see the work of love and care hat went into this. âĨïļ
The Barrina T5 are the best!
( ðĄ pro tip! I've been using books to move some closer to the lights ð)
My succulents - love them! ð ð
ðļ Can't wait to see what you create in the time lapse shots... Please share links to yr videos! ð
My boyfriend was just talking about making a video for our Mantra plant praying (leaves move up and down in response to light) as he's got a Sony AR7 camera that can shoot in low light - although he normally likes to shoot people not plants lol

@Sassylimey Hopefully in the future Greg will allow the uploading of videos so that I can share with yâall!
@roxyvivien thanks for the tip! Do you know what the optimal distance from the Barrinaâs the succulents should sit? I want them to get all the light they need, but I donât want to burn them either by over doing it and moving them too close. This will be my first attempt at time-lapse photography. Iâm more of a flowers and landscape kind of girl.
@PurpleSucculent it kinda depends on how much light you had before and if your using one or two lights above the plants, and of course the species...
But I'd start them about 8-10 inches away for 9 hours then slowly increase to 14 hours...
And slowly increase to 4-8 inches away (if you have one light) or 6-10 inches away if you have two lights above.
The only succulent that can't take being closer than 8 inches away from one light is my thin leaved Blue Echeveria (next to the Panda Plant).
All succulents can take up to 16 hours under a grow light but I have only have a 4, 9 or 14-hour option.
Here are some pics ðļ (kitty + standard posts-it notes addes for size reference ð )
Also, I think it's interesting to note that upon moving many of my succulents back outside to 3-6 hours of direct southwest sunlight NONE of them have gotten burned going from grow lights to real sun! The lights are legit! ðð―

@roxyvivien thanks for the tips. They have always been under grow lights. I just changed the type and placement of the lights. My husband bypassed the timer on the Barrina so that we could continue using the smart timers that we have. The smart timers turn on the Barrinas and the track lights at 4am and off at 4pm. Depending upon the hight of the plant the lights are 6-14 inches away. I will definitely keep an eye on the shorter plants that are farther away to see if I notice them losing their color. Thanks for the heads up about distance.
@BeesZenGarden I hope so! ðĪðŧ
