Very new to being a plant parent and am scared my living room plants don’t get enough sun. Any recommendations for grow lights?

After trying a few different kinds, I’ve had good results with these ones.

Please note those are Canadian $$ so for American friends your price should be much cheaper.

Hey there! Im looking into moving up there lol, how often/what seasons do you use your grow lights for your plants?

#### S.R replied on 2025-03-15

Generally speaking from about October to March/April. I only add them for a few of my plants that have higher light needs. Things like pothos, ZZ, snake, spider can all make it through the winter without any added lighting.

Okay, that makes sense. Thank you for the info, appreciate it!

I like Sansi, they can be moderately spendy though

I've had excellent experiences with Barrina lights!
