I bought a phrag. flask last week. Might be due to transportation stress or high temperature, the lower leaves are brown. I try to keep it in the GH for sometime to wait for recovery form the tress. The problem is how much light is required for a Phrag. flask? For easier determination, please indicate in lux of FC that I can measure with my digital light meter. Thanks in advance.
 
the plants were left in the flask too long, but probably not really an issue...you can have a range of light with phrag seedlings,. just no direct sun light,... but with that, light requirements always depends on culture (watering, humidity, mineral, uptake)..all depends on your system ..there is no definitive answer to this ..you have to play around..but if you are worried they are in stress, I would give them no more than 200- 500 FC (forest shade)
