Another lighting question: What do you all use for your succulents?… | Equipment & Materials 🇺🇸 | Planta-community

Another lighting question: What do you all use for your succulents? I’m tired of my succulents getting all stretched out and sad-looking, even though they’re under a grow light or fluorescent light. What type of light do you use (brand, size, shape, wattage), and how far do you have it from your succulents? Bless you if you don’t need any supplemental light for them… there’s not a spot in my house where that’s possible.

    I have mine under Barrina T5s for a few months now. It’s about 6 inches away from the lights and I have them on for 14 hours a day

    I don’t have many succulents, but I have cacti under Barrina T5’s that are about 8” away for about 8 hours a day, but this shelf is also right in front of a western window :)

    Ok so far sounds like Barrina brand is the way to go!

    I use a soltech vita with great success. I have one about a foot from this large jade — most of the growth you see is new since a major prune in march

    Just found this handy chart (can’t post link). Light meter is waiting for me at home (thanks Amazon). Kinda afraid what I’ll find out. 🫣
