Hello everyone! I’m a long-time aspiring green thumb, haha, and have a beautiful but simple variety of houseplants. I’ve recently purchased some grow lights and am curious in regards to any tips. How do I figure out height/distance from plants… if I put it higher up can it benefit more planta? Are son more receptive to grow lights than others? Does location of plant not matter so much once grow lights are introduced? Is it just a matter of trial and error, or should I be doing research/Googling… I have a bunch on my tv room and another bunch in my bedroom… (pics attached) Any tips or pointers - either in terms of resources to learn or from your own experience? Thank you 🥰🌿🌱 💡

    Cutest collection!! The best investment is a light meter! You can find them pretty cheap on Amazon. Natural light is always best but I find (where I live) that my grow-lights help keep my plants happy ALL YEAR LONG (we have those long winters🥶). Just like the sun, the grow-lights can also burn the leaves of plants so be mindful of that as well! 🌱grow with me on Instagram: @growwithamberlowe
