Some plants require a dormant “winter” phase after the flower state where
the length of the day is short. With some houseplants, it may help to move
them to a darker and cooler area of the home in order to allow them to go
dormant. Once a plant is dormant, foliage growth may be limited and even
drop off, but the roots will continue to grow. It can take several weeks for
plants to come out of dormancy.
The use of an outlet timer is essential for maintaining proper growth of long
and short day plants. Below are instructions for setting common mechanical
outlet timers. If the timer looks different, you should follow the instructions
provided by the timer manufacture.
Setting the timer:
1. Locate the pins around the outer edge of the timer’s dial. These
pins represent 30 minutes and can be pushed up or down.
2. Select a time period you want the Aspect to operate by pushing
the pins down. We recommended having the light on during the
times you are awake. This will help prevent night interruption.
3. Rotate the timer’s dial clockwise until the pointer on the face of the
dial points to the current time of day.
4. Set the master switch on the timer to “timer on” position.
5. Plug the Aspect into the outlet on the side of the timer. Plug the
timer into the wall outlet. To override the timer and turn on the
Aspect, set the master switch to “outlet on” position.
