I have 7 plant lights scattered around my house.
Various kinds. Long ones. Round bulbs. Red ones.
I've found it doesn't matter. None were expensive.
They all work.
I thought I'd find a favorite but no.
My least favorite is the eerie red one.
But even that one works well and seems
to really help this fern from
dropping too many fronds.
I'm trying to keep it alive until I
can hang it outside for the summer.
It's doing surprisingly well in all it's eerie-ness
and here it is almost February.
I just stuck the light on a photo tripod.
Another one is this Swiss Cheese plant which
has given me challenges in the past
but look how green it is!
on the above Monstera Adansonii.
It was a 2-pack so I stuck one here over this fern
that has never grown in the winter before.
It has only lost leaves in the past.
Now it's thriving.
My take-away is get what works easiest with
what you already have. A shelf to clip a light onto or a
floor tripod if there's nothing to use or stick
it in an existing lamp.
They all seem to work about the same.
Makes me wonder why I never did this before.
I think I thought it would be too expensive but
I don't think I've spent over $40 for all of them together
and I actually love turning them all on in the morning
and checking everything out.
I know I could do timers but I need to say
Hello to each one. (Only a plant lover would get that.)
