# Hi! I just got a new plant — a Cordyline (Ti plant) — and I’m keeping…

Hi! I just got a new plant — a Cordyline (Ti plant) — and I’m keeping him indoors. He's around a grow light I have for my othet plants though I bought that one by chance to be honest. I want to get a grow light to help him thrive (not just survive), but I’m really confused by everything. I keep reading that Cordylines need around 20–30 watts, but every grow light I find on Amazon says something like “300W equivalent,” and when I look at the actual product specs, it only uses like 10 real watts. I know watts = power consumption, so do I focus more on lumens or something else like PAR? I’m placing him in a corner of my room, so I’m looking for a light that either: Has a base or stand to go over the plant, or Can stick into the soil. I’m trying to keep it under $40, since it’s only for this one plant. Any advice or specific light recommendations would really help — thank you!! 😓 (Also I don't know why the message repeated)

My only advice at this point would be not to get one that sticks right into the dirt. I bought a few of that type before I had experience with them and now every time I want to water the plant or move it I have to deal with dirt pulling out as I pull the light out and it's just a messy deal.

Oh geez, okay thank you.

You could also just wrap a paper towel around it so that as you remove it, the dirt falls back into the pot. I never have issues with mine.

I would say get one a maybe just keep it a little farther away or just do what I do like this I keep all me plant near actual sunlight
