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) 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.
