# A week on from my first batch and I’ve been super obsessed. I’ve been…

_Posted by Batesy Greenery on 2026-01-07_

A week on from my first batch and I’ve been super obsessed. I’ve been buying from a uk supplier, unsure if able to name so I won’t, but I’ve accumulated around 30 plants now from rescue boxes to rare additions that just caught my eye and allowed me to use some vouchers.

Can people suggest good grow lights, whether being south facing window but out of direct will be good enough, whether standard humidity will be ok (currently running a humidifier but the plug does t allow me to move too far from the plants so it’s say on a low shelf)

I wanted to maximise the light so I put the reflective sheet behind the shelf for the time being

Some of the new additions are;

Anthurium queen of hearts  
Anthurium forgetti x Gigi  
Two mottled syns  
Three alocasia suhirmanaina reds  
Alocasia Ninja  
Philodendron caramel

Anything people suggest openly welcome
