Brought all my plants in for the fall/winter. This year I’m trying lights instead of letting them all go dormant/winterizing them!!

Good work! Grow lights will make a big impact. Are they the Barrina T8s?
1 mi piaceThank you! They are Barrina t5… hopefully good enough!
0 Mi piaceYou might find they’re not strong enough for your succulents there. I would put at least 2 of those on each shelf :)
0 Mi piaceYess I have 4 of the t5s on each shelf, they are connected so it’s like 2 long ones! Think that will be sufficient?! Thank you for your insight
0 Mi piaceThat’s great! It was hard to spot that in the pics but that sounds really good. I would keep an eye on these as you progress through winter and increase if you need to. For reference, I have 2 x 2ft T8s for my succulents and they like that amount of light in my house but they do also stay under that setup all year and don’t go outside. Best of luck!!
1 mi piaceCool ! I’m going to need to do this for my outside plants too
1 mi piaceYessss my plants were always outdoor plants but then I moved to the east coast and now I have to take them inside every fall/winter! This is the first year im trying out lights, I used to let them go dormant but this winter I want the friends 😛
3 Mi piaceI also use the Barrina t5 lights. Also 4 to a shelf. The lower light succulents do fine but echeverias would not color up. They are back under Sansi lights. Under the Barrinas I have Haworthias, Gasterias, and Sansevierias, and a few crassula that I will probably be moving.
1 mi piaceOh thank you for the insight!!! I love your crassulas and also the fish pot is the cutest!
