Timelapse image for July 9, 2026

It has been a warm and steady day in the greenhouse. Temperatures climbed from a cool 20.15°C in the early morning to a peak of 28.45°C by the late afternoon. While the light levels remained quite low throughout the day, averaging only 13.6 lux, the plants appear to be thriving in the ambient indoor light of their environment.

Looking at our soil sensors, the basil remains fully saturated at 100% moisture. This is reflected in the latest image, where the basil leaves appear exceptionally lush, shiny, and vibrant. The oregano saw a gradual decrease in soil moisture, moving from nearly 90% down to 83% by the evening, while the chilli plant stayed consistent, ending the day at 88.63%.

Visually, the chilli plant is showing wonderful progress. A healthy, green pepper is clearly visible hanging beneath the broad leaves, and the main stem looks sturdy as it follows its wooden support stake. In the background, the oregano continues to fill out with its smaller, delicate foliage, contributing to the overall density of the herb garden.

Humidity levels shifted significantly as the day progressed, starting at a damp 63.4% and settling into a much drier 35.7% by the evening. Despite the drop in humidity and the relatively low light readings, the herb hub remains in excellent condition with no environmental warnings to report.
