OMG finally I found an answer for what brightness to use!! Everyone says high, low, grow lights etc but no one says what watt, kelvin, brightness etc to use I found you as a guest on another channel I was subscribed to and have subscribed to you! Love the knowledge you bring as well as how to make the hobby affordable for as many people as possible! ❤
I have 3 different types of grow lights. Used them on my plants all winter. I had neighbors ask me what I was "growing in the spare bedroom". lol They saved my succulents this winter in LA. I started using 24 hours, but when I saw one of your videos, I did only 8 to 12 hours a day. They grew a lot better that way.
I want to ask how you set up your succulents in your spare bedroom? I have a spare bedroom too but I am not quite sure how to display them for sunlight and air ventilation. Thank you very much
Just found you… I have just become a succulent cultivator , I’m addicted already…love all you do and your vibe ,thank you so much all the way from Australia ☮️🇦🇺🌈 🥰🪴
Wow, thank you for this! ☺️ I didn’t think I needed grow lights ... But now that I know it can be as simple as a desk lamp, it might help to keep my indoor arrangement healthy & happy!
They are regular bulbs just like she said.. Any Home Depot Walmart etc. Carries them Not sure why they said their not regular bulbs. I just wanted to let you know yes they are regular bulbs just higher linens that's all Same ones I use for my garden seedlings 🌱 every year. Fluorescent is a great bulb too!!
I have so many grow lights stashed in Amazon cart never purchased. I've been so lost as to what I needed. The blurple ones I did not want all over my house. So glad you did this!!
Wow this is an eye opening video! I’ve been using the Blurple lights and noticed that the succulents grow slow and still stretch. I had no idea you could use a white light!! This is so great to know. 💚💚
This is so amazing and helpful! I have wanted to use grow lights but found it so overwhelming that I didn't even know where to start. I'm going to try this! Thank you!
I got all my answers related to grow lights. Thanks for making it so simple. And most importantly, what I love is your honesty. Thank you once again. Really appreciate. 🙏
Wow, I never looked into grow lights, I just assumed that they were special lights(kinda like the ones you use for baby chickens) and I am so glad I watched this now! Realizing I just need a regular lamp, and bright light! Going to start doing this now!😍
I have a fluorescent light in my kitchen and wondered if I could use it for my succulents. Thank you for answering that question and for all your great tips! I love your collection btw. I’m hoping mine will look more like that eventually.
Ok,, you've convinced me. I always steered clear of grow lights, but now I've "seen the light'. I realize my plants will love me even more with some help from more light. Thanks for showing me what's best, how to use it, and what to avoid. Bless you, Cassidy. You are definitely the succulent guru of the world!!
So glad to see this video! I was going to go shopping for grow lights tomorrow and now I know what to get and it’s not going to cost the fortune like I thought it would 😃
Great info! I ended up buying some LED strip lights that were labeled as grow lights. I've done pretty well with them, but it's good to know that I have more options for lights than I thought!

When I first bought my first grow light, I thought I did “research” and purchased the red/blue light and I did not like it, but used it for a year or so because I did not know exactly what to do. I then decided to try a brighter one and bingo, my plants became much happier. Thank you for this info.....I will do even better! 😁👍🏻
great info iam about to acquire growlights the soonest possible but good thing ive watched ur video. now all i need to use is just an LED light..thank you so much..god bless you😊
I'm using the purple/blue grow lights. They're about 14" above the succulents. Some of the smaller ones are stretching, I'll have to move the lights closer to the succulents. Thank you for this video.
Thank you for this information. I do not have any grow lights as of now. I move all my plants outside in the summer but this will help me in the fall and winter months. I will start ordering for later on. Thanks
Wow! I have been wanting to some grow lights but when I would look for them it was so overwhelming that I would just say later.... You really did a good job explaining them so I’m looking forward to looking again. Thanks!
You have no idea how much time and money you saved me. I purchased three Goose Neck Desk lamps with 100w and 1500 lumens for my succulents. All for under $100 vs buying a plant stand with grow lights built in. Still trying to arrange plants according to light needs, but overall, I’m very happy with your advice. Thank you! 😊
I had no idea it was that simple!! Probably, because I’m missing the green spectrum on my lights is why my succulents are still stretching and I’m not getting the colors you are getting. Thank you for the links and the info!
I bought some of the lights on the Amazon list, and they saved my succulents through the last winter. They were the smaller LED 6 strip lighting. With how many succs I have, I may need my husband to build me something like you have. I'm happily overwhelmed by succulents.
Thanks for providing such a specific and documented explanation of what to look for when purchasing artificial lighting. This beats anything else I've seen on the subject, especially by providing the link to the specific products on Amazon!
gosh im so scared of growing lights lol thank you so much for the helpful info! also the showing of your layout for said growing lights is extremely appreciated
I've used the blue red LED while overwintering some of my plants in my garage. Even supplementing those with "plant" lights (those that have that blueish film on them), my plants survive, but don't thrive. Next season, definitely time to switch to something closer to daylight.
So, if course I invested in the lights that can be blue, red, or combined (sigh). They are on 12 hours a day. Guess I'll need to shop again. Thanks for the info
OhMyGosh thank you so much for this info! I’m ready to add some grow lights to my home but literally have no idea what I’m doing! This information is so very helpful! Thank you!!
Thank you for the reassurance that the bulbs that I put into clamp on bulb holders won't harm my succulents. I created a rack above the table using a piece of wire shelving and some PVC type plastic legs. I then clamped the lights to the rack, so I can move them around when needed.
I was so excited to hear you use my term "blurple"! I don't use blurple lights for my plant friends. I've found a good set of dual head grow lights that I've been using for some time. I actually did have a desk lamp with a daylight bulb in it when I first started out and only had 2 plants. Sadly, the desk lamp broke. I also acquired more plants (I don't know how that happened) and figured they'd need more light.
Im using aquascapes lamp, the lux perfect, lux and CRI you can adjust until now all the succulent and cactii still survive and their color magnificent Will try to use led/flourcent as you recommend
If what you're using is working, keep going with that. But if you're ready to add more lights you can try these: #ad amazon.com/shop/succulentsandsunshine
I have been growing all my young succulents and leaves propagation with just regular photography led lights (the cheap ones), and my babies grow so much faster when I compared with someone I've talk to who use the purple cheap generic "grow lights" from amazon that doesn't even specify the PPFD.
Now see I wondered if I was doing it wrong and leaving my lights on all day long on my plants. I knew I probably wasn't supposed to do that so I think I'm going to start tonight turning them off when we go to bed and back on on the am
i used 7.500 lux (50 watts) and all my succulents grew like an instagrams succulents. pretty, colorful, healthy, shiny and compact.
Which light please
Which time u use light 💡 for succulent,,(day or night)?
@@hyun808 the page is in my instagram @dean_lugisto
@@nafisaislamnithila5254 day. 10 hours minimum and approximately 14 hours. @dean_lugisto at Instagram for full details.
@@deanlugisto We are just asking which light. I scanned through your IG but closed the window. never mind lol
I have been STRESSED over this grow light situation. Im so happy to hear this info❤
Glad this helped!
Grow lights have been the most frustrating thing to learn about with succulents. Thanks for the great information.
OMG finally I found an answer for what brightness to use!!
Everyone says high, low, grow lights etc but no one says what watt, kelvin, brightness etc to use
I found you as a guest on another channel I was subscribed to and have subscribed to you! Love the knowledge you bring as well as how to make the hobby affordable for as many people as possible! ❤
Btw I use the Sansi lights from Amazon and love them! Just never knew what level to use of bulb
I'm so glad this helped! I've found that "grow lights" for succulents are so much simpler than it seems. But it took me years to figure it out 😆
Last year I used the purple grow lights and my house looked like a brothel from the outside! Needless to say they didn’t last too long!🙃
😆😆😆
That happened to me too! I used a lamp for dark treatment in the winter and our bedroom surely looked like the red light district 😅
Same. Or like it was a cannabis factory before it was legal lol
😂😂😂

Thank you! Glad it's been helpful
Thank you for this, I was just worrying about what lights to use this morning. Talk about perfect timing.
Thank you so much! This has been the hardest thing for me to do with succulents and apparently I have wasted time and money on not such good lights.

This was super informative. Glad to say I've chosen the correct lights that my hubby mounted under the kitchen cabinets for me. Thank you.

Chicks need a warming light:) ours is red:)

Thank you for the information on grow lights. I will have to purchase some for my indoor succulents.
Good to know! I hadn't realized having the lamp on only during daylight hours was recommended

Really enjoy all of your hints and examples. Most of my succulents are outside so the sun is my variable. Thanks for the info.

I have the purple grow lights because I did not know I could use the white regular led bulbs. That is great to know!
This was great information. Had no idea that white lights are the best. Have a couple color lights that I will change out.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I’m in the market for grow lights and will check out your Amazon site for your recommendations!
Thank you so much for sharing your tips and Amazon links. I purchased the gold lamp.
You are very welcome, glad they were helpful! We love that lamp 🙂
Thank you so much for making a video on this!
Wow! Very interesting! A lot of information that i didn’t know!

Still fairly new to succulents but I'm loving them so far!! They do really well under my LED light, so thank you for the info!
more videos please !
I have a blurpie haha. But it’s doing ok I think. But I went to Walmart and bought 2 led desk white lights and I’m going to use them
I have the red and blue ones... I didn’t know they were the wrong ones!
So, if course I invested in the lights that can be blue, red, or combined (sigh).
They are on 12 hours a day.
Guess I'll need to shop again. Thanks for the info
