Planta keeps telling me that this site is too dark for these plants, so I’ve been perusing the purchase of a plant light for this spot. But I have no idea what I’m doing. I normally use just a simple grow light for a single plant, but this is a totally different situation. Can anybody recommend a GROW LIGHT for this space and these plants? TIA for any info regarding a better life for my plants? 😊💚🪴

Amazon has lots of great options! I would probably do a clip on light situation for the top shelves and little light strips you can just stick to the bottom of the upper shelf slats for the lower shelves myself. As long as you get a “full spectrum” kind of light you’ll be ok tho!

Thanks for that info! Those strip lights sound interesting; I think I’ll check those out. Regards…😊💚🪴

Yea I got one for 6-7 bucks from Amazon. It works great! It is one you can stick into the soil but I just keep it near the plant. :)

Can you tell me what this light is called? There are so many out there, it’s hard to really find a specific one. TXS. 😊💚🪴

WOW! Are you quick on the draw… That was a fast response! TXS for the info; I will definitely look into it. Sounds great for individual plants, right?
