What did you feed them?

They are simply absolutely gorgeous! Any chance of ID?

I put freeze dried crickets and bloodworms in a coffee grinder then sprinkle them on the pings.

I sprinkle them on the whole plant then do a light spray with water.
If I put too much on the ping then the leafs with the insects brown and die but the whole plant grows very fast.

by the way, how much light did you give them? sunlight or flourescent lights? my pings look light-deprived but a bit wary about exposing them to the full noon sunlight for now, as it is very hot...
