What kind of artificial light(s) help pothos, inch plant, and spider plant grow? I know natural sunlight is one of the best, but I don’t think near my windows are cutting it. Any tips?

Buy full spectrum grow lights with a higher lumens rating. Place them about 1 foot from the plants and run them at least 12 hours a day. You can add grow light bulbs to current lamps. Try Sansi, Soltech and Barrina brand bulbs. A bit more expensive but worth it. The cheaper light fixtures on Amazon and similar stores are practically useless. 🪴🍀

I bought cheap lights from Amazon and my plants are thriving!  
I had a craft light and put my pothos under it. The variegation is returning.  
If you can’t afford the best bulbs still get something. I love my lights.
