I have a room that I grandly call my plant room (it's my 2nd bedroom); I grow African violets, episcias, dwarf gardenias, miniature roses, orchids, jade plants, night-blooming cereus, aloe vera, and just about anything else that comes my way! I keep the room at a temperature of about 72F/22C, with a humidity of 65-70%. Most of my plants sit under ordinary fluorescent fixtures that I got at Home Depot, which I plug into power strips (the kind you use for computers) and which are in turn plugged into ordinary mechanical appliance timers. My small plants are kept on stands that I built from ordinary PVC pipe and pipe fittings, likewise purchased at Home Depot. Everything in there seems to be "happy" and I win a fair number of ribbons on my violets (I don't show my other plants) so I guess I'm doing *something* right!
