# There was a plant drop at Mountain Crest. By the time I added two…

_Posted by Dave\_opuntiaface on 2023-09-08_

There was a plant drop at Mountain Crest. By the time I added two Copiapoa humilis to my cart and finished a quick work conversation, I saw the website counter drop to “only 3 left.” I got my two!

Per the Dkakti folks - the Copiapoa lords - it’s lots of sun and a screen to keep from scorching (but also a few other nerve-wracking things to recreate their foggy desert conditions).

So here’s my quick and dirty version to get maybe a month of 80 degrees and power via diffusion of the frequent window reflections across the way. Picture me running up the stairs and recounting all this.

If you wanna know, that screen reduces the foot-candle reading about 30% (around 7500 to 5000ish). And ps

“One foot-candle is defined as enough light to saturate a one-foot square with one lumen of light.”
