ABOUT THIS VIDEO: Grow lights for houseplants | grow lights 101 (for houseplants 🌿)
This video is an introductory video on grow lights for houseplants, so if you want to learn the basics on grow lights for houseplants this will be a helpful guide :). We will talk about grow lights for houseplants, as well as grow lights for succulents (and therefore growlights for cactus as well). These are especially great growlights for succulents in winter (for my succulents in winter, I am using the sansi grow light and it has worked really well), and will be talking about two kinds of grow lights: LED grow lights and CFLs (compact flourescent lights). Let me know if you have any questions! I will make sure to reply :)
This was the most thorough information on grow lights I have heard. Now I need to rearrange my plants under the grow lights. Had them all together getting the same amount of hours under the lights. 🤦♀️🤷♀️
Ah! So glad you found the video informative 😊😊😊! Haha let me know how the re-arrangement goes 💚
@@PlantsandLucia I will. I put all the higher light plants together closer to the grow lights. Hopefully my succulents will do better.
@@PlantsandLucia btw now I Kno why my succulent is so dang long lol. Its South facing but the tree in back starts shading so much mid summer on. Thanks I can fix it now.
No one talking about how exciting she looks when she says "okay so ,okay then etc" ur so cute that am watching ur videos 😂 haveing a north facing window

This was definitely the best information on grow lights Lucia! Great job! I also love LED lights and have the Sansi bulb and the Haus Bright bulb. Winter and the Sun shifts are something you can't control, adding grow lights can take your plants through the Winter. 🌱💚😊
Thank you so much Carmen ! The sansi grow light is nice right ? I really like how it is working with my succulents :))
Thank you so much Lucia! It's always a pleasure watching your videos, you have so much energy and your videos are so interesting, thanks again for sharing informations. I saw this video and I bought LED lights for helping my Monstera Deliciosa during the winter and provide to her light for 10-12 hours. We'll see how it goes (:

I got one of the universal full spectrum bulbs. Really convenient since it just replaces the normal bulbs I have in my ceiling light. Maybe it’s a placebo but it also feels more invigorating for some reason also.

Thanks for the usefull info ^^
This is what I needed! Great video you covered so much. I had no idea my succulents were leaning because they needed more sun!
Yay! So happy to read that ! Let me know if you have any questions 💚
Interesting because mine is right on the window sill with the most light, but slightly leaning as well!
I keep turning it.
(Glow Echeverria, if I spelled that right. Growing tall, but side leaves keep falling. Strong, though.)
Thank you so much! This was really informative and also great explained how to use these, the difference, combining them etc. I've read and watched everything related to light for indoor plants and what I should buy before it get so dark here in Sweden. Still no lamps haha couldn't find anything that wasn't all about just one or way to large and lighting up the house for the neighbors! 😄 Finally understand what the difference is and what I need! Now I just need to find these with a good price because it's overpriced in Sweden! Thank you again! Watching more from your channel next! ❤️🌼
Lighting up the house for the neighbors.... 😂😂 totally understood that statement!!
(Is it possible/cheaper to order from another country?)
@@pickledjalapeno9482 Haha 😅😆 think the neighbors are already wondering if we are scared of the dark or something 😂😂
Yes I'm looking on Amazon etc to find something in a country nearby, but the shipping is really expensive. But I'm currently looking at lights from UK, the shipping is a little bit cheaper 😊 but don't know if the lights are good though because the ones recommended from US is of course not available 😅 *pulling my hair out* 😭😂🌸
Thank you so much for this!!!
You are very welcome ! Let me know if you have any questions 😊😊
Amazingly well thought out and clearly articulated video! Best grow light video I've seen and exactly what I needed. Thank you!! Do you happen to know if airoids and Hoya's are daylight neutral or do they need the dark to thrive? I don't yet have timers for my lights and often just leave them on rather than off. Thank you so much again for sharing your knowledge on this subject 🌺
thank you so much for the detailed info
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you !
Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo explicative :)
Thank you for the wonderful insights! Plant-mom noob here! 😄 Planning to purchase grow lights for my potted celosias, theyre not thriving well with the amount of light they get from my bedroom window. Hope led lights will help 🙏🏼🌿
I just saw I missed your comment! So happy you found the video helpful :) Let us know how it goes with your Celosias and welcome to our community!
Good info thank u
Excellent video!,, thanks a million
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful! I bought some red and blue lights for my plants but never understood why. Asides they work great. My apartment is under a loooot of trees and never gets any sunlight.
Yay! So happy you found it helpful ! It’s so interesting how it works right ? Plants are amazing 🪴🪴💚💚
Thank you for all the details. I am new to plant lights and I recently purchased a fullspecrum LED 80w grow light. I have a question please... I have partial shade plants (wax begonias, ivy, Lilly of the valley, prayer plant, etc), but even on the brightest setting the light seems dim. I have it about 4" from the leaves at present. Is 80 watts enough? It's a 4 arm light so I can adjust it, but the brightness on it's highest setting seems yellow not white even though it's listed as full spectrum. The plants are in a corner away from windows. Thanks, Tamara
Great to have found your channel great info about every topic you tackle. Thank you and kudos! New sub here
Yay! So happy you like the videos and that you are now part of our community! Welcome :)
Thank you for this video! Just bought the Sansi bulb that you recommended.
Yay let me know how it works for you 💚💚
@@PlantsandLucia it just arrived and I’m so excited! I love that the light is a clear white (not pink!). Can’t wait to see the results.
@@PlantsandLucia P.S. Also got a light timer, because I always forget to switch it on haha
Thanks so much
Thanks alot very usefull to my plant
So happy it was useful :) !
I had no idea plants could get energy from artificial light! A new world is opening. This video was so informative and I loved your energy!
Also RUclips is a bit scary because I just thought today I should inform myself about grow lights and they recommended me this video..
Haha so glad you found it helpful ! And I know, sometimes I feel it can read my mind, crazy !
Hola 👋 gracias por tu explicación, tengo una duda; cuántas horas debo exponer las plantas la primera vez que las expongo a las luces? Las mismas 12 horas que si ya están adaptadas o no?
Thank u.. so helpful info.. 😍😘
So happy it was helpful !!
I read on one forum that red light is used mostly in agricultural greenhouses for growing fruits or vegetables and blue light is used for growing leaf mass...
I really need to know about this
Hii! I hope this was helpful and of course if there are any questions do let me know here 💚 I will make sure to reply :)
Thank you
Great video, thank you! Would putting grow lightbulbs in track lighting in the ceiling be effective since the light isn’t very close to the plants?
Hi Lucia, can I use a normal LED purple light bulb or do I need to buy a specific grow light bulb ?
Very useful video, thank you! My light Fixture is upside down in my dining room where I keep all my plants. It is an eight lights, light fixture. do I need to change it to one that is downward? I don’t know how else to ask my question Lol
Great information! What light would you recommend for keeping an African Violet blooming through the winter? I would prefer the light bulb style. Thank you so much.
Hi, I have a bay laurel plant with a blue & red grow light, set to 12h light, 12h rest. Is that good for this kind of plant?
Cheers.
Hii Lucia!! Love your videos! I have a question I noticed that you have some circle lights by you crates that you have on the wall . I'm looking for small lights like those to put underneath my tv stand since the sunlight won't reach it ...do you have a link for the ones you use ..or have any recommendations?
Thank you ☺️
can i put the sansi grow light 15W into a regular desk lamp say that you’ll use everyday in college ?
Very good selfie
Hi! What are the best colours of lights for young plumeria plants (about a year old)?
What a great video! Thanks, Lucía! For the great content and good vibe :)
I have a question for you: I’ve seen people placing grow lights in floor lamps, or even in the sealing. Is that a good practice?
:) You can definitely place a grow light in a normal floor lamp. However, the material of the lamp (specifically the housing of the lamp) will make a difference on how long your light lasts. This is because of heat absorption. For example, some grow lights come with a housing made of aluminum, which tends to absorb the heat produced by the LED light - this helps the cooling process within the housing and in consequence the LED board doesn't heat up so much (which un turn, helps it last longer). I hope this helps! If it is just al LED light bulb, you can place it in a lamp (make sure that it is full spectrum, as it is better for your plants :))
I'm thinking about getting some lights I've just started getting into plants. from what I've learned my light isn't strong enough to be considered bright indirect light. the plants I have may be alright, but I want them to thrive. if I get lights do I need to only use them when the sun is down? or do I use the lights in combo with whatever comes in the window.
I am in london, all my plants are cactus and succulent that place next to a west facing window. Should I add an additional LED Grow light during the summer time ? Or just the sun light will be enough?
I can’t find anything on which kind of light for eucalyptus. Can you help me? I want to grow strictly indoor but don’t have windows due to being in the basement. Which light is best for my eucalyptus?
Hi Lucia!!! Thanks for this video :) but what about how many lumens or watts a grow light have to have? I can't buy an "official" grow light because here in Chile they are soooo expensive but I could buy one at the local hardware store. I was thinking in one with 6500K (cold), 1350 lumens and 14 or 18W. The days over here are starting to be darker and darker :( Help, please :B
I love the crates on yer wall and the lights inside them. Do you have an easy source for them? I need lighting solutions these days...
