It is called satin nickel. I've used hammertone on cabinet hardware and it looked cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuffyGeos November 18, 2014 Share November 18, 2014 Hey, your ATO should sprinkle rain down on them from the top. 8) Set up a mister system! The fresh water is probably how they get moisture. Are you suppose to spray the leaves and wipe them down like you do with orchids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanM November 18, 2014 Share November 18, 2014 They excrete salt through the leaves, apparently, which damages them if it is not rinsed off. Ive never grown one, just what Ive read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that is why they have that white is haze of them and probably only grow where they are enough rain showers to clean the salt off their leaves. huh.

Think I have a couple ideas now. I will be out of town from tomorrow till December 3, so won't have time to try it out for a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
