Sooooo I happen to live in a basement where I get good light for the plants I have! However, as the months get colder I don’t get as much sun down here! What grow lights work best? I have an extra terrarium grow light will that work the same? Do plants need different light bulbs? Sorry for the little rant! I want them to live through the Utah winter!! (Some of my babies included)

IMO Soltech has the best lights. That said many people here swear by barrina or sansi. One thing that helped me understand lighting (second most important thing after water) was reading “The New Plant Collector” by Darryl Cheng. It has SO MUCH info on carrying for a wide variety of houseplants and he really explains how much light a variety of plants need

It’s a great book. Also his book the new plant parent is awesome too.

I have two Sansi grow lights and they’re fantastic. Got them on Amazon.

I’ll have to check them out!! I keep seeing packs of grow light bulbs that I can just screw into a lamp but I wasn’t sure if they are worth it!!
