Do y’all know any good sites or companies I could get these from? ## 17 comments ### Eric commented on 2025-05-18 Hello! If you don’t have part sun or full sun, then a grow light is a good idea. I got this one from Amazon and it works great. It has a built in timer and I keep it on for 12 hours on and off automatically. Hope this helps! ![Attachment 1 of 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/-s3b4ai2rY5g5TyxrljAjpdYG49vU9A8n3CFAzrWeTo/-Hc0d_VhQgCgu6cfY3S5Xg.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 2 of 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/-s3b4ai2rY5g5TyxrljAjpdYG49vU9A8n3CFAzrWeTo/FZTHugM9Qme1yKCzo4pZZQ.webp?size=large) #### Ava replied on 2025-05-18 Dose it work for multiple plants?😅 these are my goal plants for the grow light, ![Attachment 1 of 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/TrTG1Ncj7NSTyNoxVVeXHJ771J_fYvvug7IkMQZDXPk/ek4jQZcVThybGADY3B_WHw.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 2 of 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/TrTG1Ncj7NSTyNoxVVeXHJ771J_fYvvug7IkMQZDXPk/fJ00lgf_Q-SggcAl06BNew.webp?size=large) #### Eric replied on 2025-05-18 Yes, it should.

When shopping for grow lights, avoid the ones that do not state the wattage. It’s a sign they are low. I have a massive amount of grow lights. For individual pots I use Sansi 10 watt pot clip ons. My favorite brand in Sansi but also like Barrina. You need to look at the different styles to find what fits your situation. Avoid the skinny tube clip ons. All that I’ve seen are pretty much useless. You need higher wattage LEDs for succulents. The reviews on Amazon are not very reliable because most buyers have no idea how bright a good grow light is. If the wattage is not listed, then it’s too low. Check how bright the lights are in my pics. ![Attachment 1 of 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/OWAkyZxcZtwxk-v_HG7sG7i-GaZeWOFpvbl_VkIbhkY/eVUZnzcfQlGlsez6f_OpzQ.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 2 of 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/OWAkyZxcZtwxk-v_HG7sG7i-GaZeWOFpvbl_VkIbhkY/uTGwX1eWRBCEctc8zf5Nhw.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 3 of 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/OWAkyZxcZtwxk-v_HG7sG7i-GaZeWOFpvbl_VkIbhkY/20yQ_bnxQseRlw9f48XlBA.webp?size=large) #### Bb replied on 2025-05-19 The orderliness of this setup is very calming. 💚 #### Ava replied on 2025-05-19 Sorry to ask but is there any you know that can work for a terrarium with three baby plants and a potted flaming Katy? I can buy two grow lights but would like one that can reach multiple plants(with keeping your advice in mind☺️) ![Attachment 1 of 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/TrTG1Ncj7NSTyNoxVVeXHJ771J_fYvvug7IkMQZDXPk/aoOVmzjwQa2TnWGen8hZdQ.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 2 of 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/TrTG1Ncj7NSTyNoxVVeXHJ771J_fYvvug7IkMQZDXPk/njbd_39fQei45SKqtMd6ZA.webp?size=large) #### Ava replied on 2025-05-19 Okay I found this, is this good? ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/TrTG1Ncj7NSTyNoxVVeXHJ771J_fYvvug7IkMQZDXPk/hWeNjgTQQU-CB7VLi6qmIQ.webp?size=large) #### Phil replied on 2025-05-19 I have that light in the 10 watt version. Tried the 5 watt but didn’t think it was bright enough. #### Phil replied on 2025-05-19 I honestly don’t know what to tell you about the terrarium. A grow light shining on an enclosed glass vessel, is what I’m no sure of the results. Maybe another has tried it. The flaming Katy probably needs a 10 watt version. As for a light for multiple plants, sounds like you want something with a wide light spread but that is just so dependent upon your needs. I’m assuming you want something at a reasonable price. There is one light I bought multiples of at an extremely good price. Not as good as Sansi or Barrina, but I was happy with it. Let me look it up. I’ll get back to you. _2 more replies in the app_ --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com). Reading is open to everyone.
