I would love if you could make a video speaking in detail about using LED lights inside for plants... distance, setup, etc. 🪴
would be great
My protip is using mirrors to increase the amount of light around your plants. You can put them in the edges of the window sill or opposite a window to reflect more light.
A video on artificial lighting like LED would be amazing! I struggle to keep my plants happy over winter, since my apartment only has windows facing one direction and I don't get enough natural light. Love your channel!!
Glad to hear you recommend regular LED or fluorescent lights. I start my garden seedlings with LED lights for workshops close to to plants. They cost 1/3 or less of a specialty grow light. I also put them on a timer for 12 hours. So easy.
Sir, no one says the word plant better than you do 😁. As you were talking about light and how far or close plants are to it, I started looking to see if my calatheas were too close to the window. I do have curtain sheers and the light is flittered through a oak tree as well. I think they will be 👌
.. I have most my Calatheas in low indirect light, and been a wee bit puzzled because I think they should have somewhat more light, but I can see how happy they are.. So if they are happy, I'm happy ☺️ only my leopardina is in bright indirect light, and have had flowers twice this year.. She's happy too with her spot too (4 - 5 feet away from shaded windows) 🤗..

I love how you say plonts, you are so lovely. If I was a calathea I'd live in your house❤
I was not sure before but am happy you confirmed that there is no need to buy these expensive “Grow lights”. Very helpful tips. Thank you.
Hi Swedish Plant Guys! Your videos are very helpful so I have two questions/video suggestions. I would love to have a video about Alocasia care (I have a Zebrina). Secondly, in this video you talk about supplementing with LED lights. I would love to know more about that as well, since I live in Holland and we have bad light conditions in fall and winter. There is so much professional advice, but I just need a break down and I trust your judgment the most!
I hope you guys will read and answer in a comment/video. Thanks!
.. I live in Denmark and here is the same poor light conditions during fall and winter.. I use to move my plant around during the seasons.. During summer most of them are outside on my veranda getting all the light they can wish for, shaded of course..
While we wait for these guys to answer. I found a LOT of great information at Mr. Houseplant's website (check out his grow light finder - it's very educational even if you already have grow lights). Also House Plant Journal has a TON of great info about lighting.
Thank you for the light-meter test! Really got me thinking
Thanks for all the helpful info!
Just wanted to say thank you so much for your great care information for all the plants. I almost watch all of your videos and its so informative and i have learnt so much from it ! Keep it up and appreciate the great work👍🏻👍🏻

Some good quick tips in this video. Never disappointed with Swedish Guys.
Thank you ! Learning more and more from it ..👍
Thanks 😊 I appreciate you sharing your knowledge !!
Thanks for all of your videos.
Thanks for the helpful tips 👍🏻
Excellent video! I use LED "daylight" bulbs from my hardware store (not expensive grow bulbs) in all my office lights with 100+ plants. It really helps, even though the plants still grow towards my Eastern 8' sliding glass door w/ zero direct sunlight.
Excelent tips, thanks!👍
Just the information I needed.Thank you.
Many thanks. As always, I learn from your videos.
Invaluable knowledge! 🙏
Thank you, very helpful and great explanation of the amount of light plants need.
Thank you for your information! Very useful!!
Lucky me I live in a tropical country where my plants do get so much lights, but I had to place some in the shed with good air circulation to avoid sunburn.
Excellent information as always
You are doing great job ..thanks for this .
Always informative. I am rearranging my office/plant room with a small window. Will take all these into consideration. Lux app is really useful too.
Thumbs up👍🏽
Merci beacoup
Love all your videos...
Always your videos are very precise
OK!! Thank you that makes sense
Love this channel!
Thank you!!!
I recently discovered this channel. I don’t want to jinx it, but it maybe one of the best discoveries I’ve made, absolutely excellent information and made easy and clear with understanding!!! Probably the single most lacking trait with others I watch. Excellent work! Please venture into the use of nutrients and which are better for given mediums, thank you
Helpful video! Saved me $$$ thank you 🙏

I always like your video about indoor plant. I not have enough light sources around the house so I have to use LED grow light. How far or high I should put the light around the plant?
Check out Mr. Houseplant's grow light finder. Although you already have the lights, it will give you an idea of how close/far from the lights certain plants should be.
Thank you@jmdoula🙏🏼
Thank you so much. You are explaining well the principles how to care the plants. I hope you will make a video with adeniums, it would be very interesting. Thank you.
Thank you so much
.. Your light meter makes mee curious, so I will like to buy one.. Only my alocasia puzzles mee, but what you just said about light gives mee one last try with them.. I keep my hopes up high ☺️
As always great video! Could you give us light tips for plants such as monsteras?
Thanks for the info! I'm very naughty when it comes to direct sunlight.
Is it possible to discuss point two? I think the main reason for the plant having less chlorophyll in the new parts is because it needs less chlorofyll in order to make the same amount of sugars as it would normally do. Meaning, it is actually in a too light spot instead of in a too dark spot. But I guess it depends on the plant balans, if it is not showing any new growth then maybe it does not get enough light. But basing it on the darkness/intensity/amount of chlorophyll is not the case for every plant.
❤️💖
I live in a dark house, trees filter all the light, so my plants go right in the window without harm. Only wish I had more light!!!
You can add hrow lights to your lamps. I pit mine on when i het up about 9 pm and turn off about 9pm. Just put 1 in the direction of the plant and then if it is more then 1 bulb and you can adjust how many you put on or which 1 you do you can use regular lights in the ones not over your plants. I have also user the ones that clio in place with grow bulbs and dirwct it to the plants. If you can buy cheap timers and set them so you can set it and run 12 to 16 hours
Very good video! What is a good Lux level for most plants?
Hi,
I am Irfan from Karachi, Pakistan.
Very informative video. Thank you for sharing.
In reference to the light intensity, could you please specify recommended Lux level for indoor plants, such as Pothos, Sansevieria, Syngonium and ZZ .
Thanks & regards.
Be ware of some overpriced LED lights. Some $30 aquarium clip-on lights are as bright as a $3 LED bulb. Get a free LUX light app on your phone to measure the light, to ensure it's strong enough.
I've searched your channel for a video specifically about using a meter for measuring the light using a foot candle vs other measurements on your channel but this is the only one I've found. Do you have any other videos about these meters and their measurements?
First of all thank you very much for all the information you give :)
I have a question...
I have heard in the past that beyond the amount of light that affects the plant it is also very important to give the plant as much exposure to the sky as possible.
is it true? Or is it only a matter of light that interests us?
.. Light.. Most plants comes from bright low light, to low indirect light as they live on the forest floor in shade from the big trees..
The two are one in the same; the more sky they see, the more light they are getting. A plant may be right up against a window and depending on orientation, may or may not get any direct light. But even for me in the northern hemisphere, my light meter reads much higher right by a window than if it's pulled back from the window several feet.
Pls answer what to do with the green cover that I see in the pumice.
Plant only in pumice in a jar glass.
I wish there was a recommended plant lumen guide for plants.
yes that would be so helpful
google houseplant journal’s light requirements guide :)
Check out foot candles, par, ppf, PPFD. Lumens is a measure of how much light human eyes can see. VERY different than what plants need for food. Google foot candle requirements for plants. One of the universities put out a guide. I have to Google it everytime and I reference it often.
Low light plants 500-2500 lux.
Medium light 2500-10,000 lux.
Bright light 10k-20k lux.
Very bright 20k-50k.
@@jmdoula correct. Lumens is the least important spec you should be concerned about when considering a secondary lights NG source. Plants need high PAR and PPF, lux at 5000 MINIMUM, and at least 1000-1200 Kelvin (daylight or bright white light, not warm white or soft white light.) Lumens are a stat only useful for humans, not plants. A light can have 1 million lumens and be bright enough to see from space, and have absolutely nothing a plant needs in order to process it into energy
NOTE: Beware of UV-Reflective coatings on Newer windows; fore they WILL slowly kill your plants (especially the full-to-partial Sun-loving plants)---even in South-facing windows, with seemingly "unobstructed Sunlight".
I moved into a new apartment, last fall, with two large Southern windows (the very reason that I chose this apartment), and by mid-Winter, I lost all of my orchids (including the one gifted to me by my Late Wife); by early Spring, my tomatoes weren't looking like they would make it until the last-frost date; and my Christmas Cactus lost half of its body, before I could place it safely outside. [ I tried everything I could think-of to save my ten+ year-old plants, except for testing the full "Sunbeams" of illusion, streaming daily into my windows.] Last month I bought a light-meter and placed it right up against the inside glass, in 'full-Sunlight', it read as "FULL SHADE"! I then went to the outside of the exact same area, of that glass, and took another reading, it read as expected: FULL SUN (the needle disappearing from view). My moss-garden plants are the only plants unaffected, as of yet.
I will now have-to purchase lighting for ALL of my indoor plants (including the Citrus trees I was planing-to buy), even though my apartment has South-facing 'picture-windows'.
What if I move plants around? Like rotating 3 ivy plants thru the week from bright indirect, mostly shaded to completely relying on light bulbs?
I have some snake plants and pothos placed in front of an east facing window. Will the direct morning sunlight be OK for the plants? Thank you!
Most plants do okay with direct early morning sun. Those plants will do great in and east facing window!
@@jmdoula thank you!

Hi to you all :)
Allow me this question
May I or not put on top of soil those decorative stones coming from rivers as natural brushed stones or pebbles with different shapes sizes and colours
I got a 12000 lumen light for my indoor plants and they do well.
Have you ever done anything with Carnivorous plants??
Kindly post on pothos.
U actually did . I saw it later. Sorry!😁
The intensity decreases by square.
1m dist 1/1
2m dist 1/4
3m dist 1/9
etc
I don't get it. Most of the houseplants are tropical plants that enjoy a lot of sunlight. How much luxes is too much?
.. Only cacti can take direct sunlight without sunburns.. Most every other plant is actually naturally living in shade from big trees, only having bright light a few hours a day.. Others comes from the bottom of forrest floor, and only have very little indirect light, and others even very low indirect light.. Most of our house plants such as monstera, peace lilies, philodendron, orchids and many others are in fact tropical plants.. Think of Columbia, Thailand, China, Africa, vietnam.. That's only a few places our plants comes from.. Tropical doesn't mean bright direct sunlight.. Tropical is warmth, light and humidity..
@@aingealtara1479 Thanks.Yeah I guess every species is different. Am Indonesian. Am used to see plants like Ficus, Bananas, Plumeria, Peace lily etc as greenery on the streets. That's why I wonder how much luxes is too much
@@wasistinibarnhart1198 you are ever so welcome 🤗 Indonesia is a tropical place too, to many of our house plants.. I see plants decorating the streets during spring and summer too, but I also see them ruined within few weeks.. They never last very long time sitting in direct sunlight.. They get burned and dehydrated.. Just like humans..
Almost all houseplants do best in bright indirect light. The terms low light or medium light means plants can survive in those conditions but they don't thrive unless they are in bright indirect light. Even Right up by my window, I get medium light levels for most of the day with the exception of direct sun which is only coming into the windows for a few hours in my case. Here in Arizona, window orientation is strategic to not allow hot SW sun to come into any window for a long period of time.
Bright indirect light is 10k-20k lux. Very bright is 20k-50k lux.
