Are you guys using growlights for your plant collection?
I'm thinking of making a simple "mini indoor greenhouse" with just simple LEDs with warmer colour :)
Hi! Philly burbs/DE native. This was very helpful! I have one of those blue/red 3 strip LED monstrosities from amazon - it does ok, but its ugly as all heck. I just got a few warm full spectrum 15W Sansi bulbs to put in the living room lamps (naturally a bright space with south facing windows) but I was wanting to supplement in the darker months since my plants are pretty far from that window. Trying to figure out lighting for the tops of some bookcases in my room that get like no light. Keep up the great content!!
@@MsMottz oh cool hello neighbor 🙂🙂🙂 yeah I cannot handle those blue, red or purple lights. I had them for a while and it just didn’t not work for me lol do you like the sansi lights? Maybe you could get some strip lights but in the warmer tone for you bookcase unless you can fit a smaller fixture or something up there.
@@RootingMindfully Yup - thanks so much for spotlighting some Philly shops that don't come up on yelp! I have new spots to check out! So far so good w/the Sansi, I like that they don't get hot and the light they give off is natural looking. One is focused on a Ficus Benjamina, a Brasil, a Fittonia, and a curly spider on a plant stand and everyone is holding their own w/new growth. The Benjamina is dropping leaves but I think that's just what they do ::fingers crossed::
Of course. I love sharing new places 🙂🙂🙂 yes that is why I love those Sansi lights. Yeah that ficus is pretty picky. Maybe it will stabilize after a while.
So helpful, especially need these with winter coming!
Thank you 🙂🙂🙂 I kept thinking to myself I hope this is coming across well.
I'm in the reverse, I need grow light during the summer. My apartment here in Queens, NY is surrounded by huge trees which blocks the light from getting inside. Your video was informative. Than you.
Oh that is interesting. Thank you. I’m glad it was helpful 😀😀😀
Same where I live, in a very wooded area. I put plants outside in the spring, and they do great, but it’s so depressing watching them all decline in the winter.
Hi great vid! Especially with the cooler weather and shorter days coming. I'm from Canada and enjoy your down to earth plant care conversation :)
Ohh Canada that is so cool. I want to travel there someday. Yesss I also want to do a watering and low light plants video to go along with the cooler seasons.
Yes! I went from 0-100 and not one plant better die.
Haha that’s so funny
Saaaaameeeee!!!! Hahaha.
I'm about to move in a basement from a well light apartment. I have been learning about lights. This was helpful. Thank you. 😊
I am so glad that you found it helpful :):):)
I’m in Atlanta. This video was very helpful as I’m dealing with less light. Keep sharing!
Thank you very much. I am glad it was helpful.
me too and I know with so many overcast days I need grow lights. i wish I would of seen this just before I ordered a set from amazon. so I will have watch again. one thing- do you find that having the lights on for 12 hours changes your watering needs?
Loving your aesthetic! Love the plants against the black backdrop 🌿🌿🖤
Thank you. The black backdrop is probably from my editing app lol
Seattle, Washington area here! I've just added a plant shelf to a room that doesn't get as much light with the intention of using grow lights, and all the info out there is overwhelming. Thank you for the reassurance that I'm on the right track!
You are spot on!!! Sounds like you will have a nice setup. Ohhh I hope to go to Seattle someday.
Oh my goodness! Your dog is just tooooo cute!
Thank you :):):)
hi, semi new to plants. just went on a binge this year and now i have a bunch of plants. this video is my first attempt to learn about grow lights so thx for the info.
You dog is so adorable!. I have a Boston Terrier. It made me smile 😃 to him in the background.
Awww thank you. I wish he took more of his French heritage lol
From Texas, thank you for the video. Am new to plants. So many places were closed because of Covid so I began growing houseplants. There was lots to learn (thanks to RUclipsrs like you). Plants were really therapeutic, and sure beat watching tv. My apartment is not very light so I also needed to learn abput growlights. Thank you again.
Hi, am from The BIG Apple uptown Harlem, Thks u 4 all the infro on plant lights. Am getting back into my plant Collection. And this was one off the things on my list. I have 2 Plants that r over 20 yrs old. One is at the window, the other, under a sky light. Thank u 🙏 again 4 all of your Videos. NYC🇹🇹🪴👒🧤💚
First time listening to your video, your explanation are simple and easy to understand.
Jamaica.
Aww thank you. That is what I aim. Thank you for watching. :):):)
very helpful i just bought a cactus and a succulent. both small.
Watched this from BC Canada. Will be buying some grow lights soon. I was really happy to find this video and get a clear, calm explanation of things. Very informative. Thanks a ton!!
Welcome :):):) Awww thank you :):):) I am so glad that you found it helpful :):):)
Hey I appreciate the insights on grow lights and the content! You’ve got a beautiful collection. I’m from NC.
Thank you very much and welcome :):):) NC is very beautiful.
The timing of this video is impeccable! With fall approaching and the California skies being engulfed in smoke, my plants are starting to need supplemental lights. Thank you 😊💕
I'm glad this video helped. Ohhh no is that because of the wildfire???
Yes! Today, there’s a bit of blue in the sky but this whole last week has been really dark all day long. I’m excited to implement grow lights 😅
@@nelly11796 I do hope that you and your family are staying safe during the fires. I empathize with you all!🌈
Thank you for talking about plant lights. I’m going to need as much lighting as I can get this winter. I have a dim home doing. I’m from Chicago Illinois
Information I was actually looking for, thank you so much!
Thank you 🙂🙂🙂 I am glad you enjoyed it
Finally a video that is understandable and make sens. I like the warmer tone as well, but I especially grown mosses and ferns for making a terrarium. I will try it, because I really dislike the cold light. Thank you very very much! Love from the Netherlands
Hi, I’m from Chicago and really enjoy your videos! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion for plants.
Awww thank you 🙂🙂🙂 Chicago is such a cool place to live
Hello from South Yorkshire. Thank you for the advise.
New to your channel and loving your videos. Your voice is very calming..hope that is not weird, but love the simplicity and thoroughness of your videos😁 im from the DMV
Great video great information about lights im from England and thankyou
I'm in St Louis and subscribed! Loved your alocasia video. But this one on grow lights was right on time. Hours ago I looked for a grow light some big box stores. I blindly bought 'some kinda' bulb... 🤷🏾♀️ Thanks to your valuable info, I can now determine if I bought one that will truly help my plants. Thanks!
Awww thank you and welcome. I am glad you enjoyed it 🙂🙂🙂
Thankyou for the information you explained it in a way i could understand, I'm a complete newbie to growlights. Oh and I'm from Australia
Thanks for your videos! I’m in Illinois here; I am going to try the clip ons from your video and I also have a GE PAR38 full spectrum grow light that seems to be very similar to the sansi! I just got it and I’m hoping it can supplement my lower light condition from moving. I miss my huge south and west windows! I think the clip on will be perfect for me since I won’t have to hang anything from the ceiling or buy a lamp stand! Love your chill vibe and seeing other women of color in the plant world :)
Awwww man what I could do with south windows!!! lol I would love to have those. Those clip on lights are a good way of not having to buy extra "accessories" for your lights. I like you thinking :):):) Thank you so much. :):):)
Beautiful
Thank you
Hi I’m from Chicago. Love your information on LED lights
Thank you so much. I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊😊😊
In Chicago...very gloomy winter. Thank you for sharing.
Very helpful & glad I just found it with the cold blast coming in. Thank you! Loving the pooch too
Yess that’s why I brought my plants in early. Aww thank you. I am glad you enjoyed it 🙂🙂🙂
Thank you so much for making this video 🥰
Thanks, you saved me a Physics lesson.
This was so helpful. Been searching for which grow lights to buy. Winters are so dreadfully dark indoors. I am from India but live in Serbia. Thanks for sharing this video.
Wow!!! Welcome!!! I am glad you found the video helpful. Thank you for watching.
#Chicago...I bought a Full spectrum, 9watts LED Grow Light for my Plants! I'll do some research, to see what I need exactly! I try and put my plants on the porch, to get natural sunlight when it's warm here!
Hi thanks a lot of great information on grow lights.
I enjoyed your space with plants. I’m from Massachusetts
Thank you :):):) And welcome :):):)
so helpful! thank you!
Thank you you have very beautiful plants and it’s obvious you take very good care of them 😀they’re lucky you’re a good plant mom🌸🌸 oh San Francisco bay area California☺️
Thank you. You are so kind :):):) Welcome :):):)
Nice explanation thanks, I grow orchids and Hoyas and am thinking about getting a grow light because I want to sun stress my Hoyas & getting 12 hours light. From Trinidad 🇹🇹 ♥
I'm from Orlando. It's funny because I just ordered an LED grow light from amazon an hour ago then just saw this video... I was like oooh nooo I should've waited! But after watching, I think what I got will be fine. Thank you!
Hahaha I’m sure you picked a really great one lol ohhhh Florida is really hot lol
Your place is gorgeous, I love ur taste ☺️
Great info!!
Hi, Karen from West coast of Florida here. This was the most helpful grow light info video I’ve seen. I am in an apt with only a west facing and a south facing window. Still trying to figure out where to put my 30 plants. The west one has a sheer curtain to help tone down the direct sun but may still be too much for some plants. The south one has two huge trees outside and a building so not much sky shows. I’ll figure it out eventually. Anyway, thanks so much for your video!
Definitely helps me. I am searching for alternative lighting, as we're heading into the Fall/Winter. Currently I have a Sansi light bulb, and a broad band Red/Blue Ultra Violet light clip for some plants. But now I want to step it up a notch, I purchases a new plant stand, and I want to divide my plants. So this truly helps. I'm from Buffalo, NY :-)
Ohhhh it gets cold up there lol Im glad it helped. Keep me posted.
Lighting is definitely key to the plants. I had to purchase a lot of different lighting for my plants. Considering that I did a lot of shelving, I needed the lights to be there to assist the plants. I updated to the white lights in my home vs the red/blue spectrum. I didn't like the fact that I couldn't tell what color the plants were (light green, dark green, variegated, etc). The SANSII light is so good. It is helping my plants a lot. I want to get some more of them. Only thing is I only can afford the round lights and I need the long rectangle lights.
I have to say that your lamps with the triple lights looks really good. Your plants look like they are really enjoying that light. Great job! I have a timer for most of my lights and it really helps when we travel (prior to COVID). Thanks for the content, very helpful!
Yesss having enough lighting can make or break your collection. And I also started out with the purple lights, but my neighbors thought that I was growing "professional" plants lol and it just did not like how it looked outside of my window. Plus like you said you cannot see what your plants look like or if something is wrong with the leaves. Yes I want one of those tracking lighting and they are more pricey. Plus I do not want to put any more holes in my walls that I will have to patch up later lol
@@RootingMindfully OMG... I had that questioned asked to me about the lights I had. I don't do drugs so I didn't understand the question when I was asked. I am thinking this is the lighting for plants, not thinking or knowing that weed was in their minds. I too didn't like the way it looked from my window. I live high up in my bldg and I would know what window was mine b/c of the purple lighting. That had to go.
Plant-Ēne Charlene Lol it’s just crazy how that’s the first thing that comes to people’s minds smh but yeah I definitely like the warmer tones better. I’m just glad I was able to send those lights back lol
Very informative video. Thank you for not making choosing grow lights complicated. I have to buy grow lights as fall is approaching here in Upstate New York. The weather is not only getting cooler but the length of daylight hours is steadily decreasing. You read my mind and have helped me in my search for an additional grow light. I too prefer a broad spectrum warm light. Good luck with your decorating and plant collection. Enjoyed your video. Thank you.
Aww thank you. I was trying to make it more simple. OMG New York gets so cold. I don't know how people stand it lol Growlights definitely come in clutch during the colder months. Thank you for watching :):):)
Erraina here....from NC.....thank you for this very informative video.♥️🌱
Welcome. Thank you. thank you for watching.
Thank you Ayana! This was very informative. I just found your channel a couple of days ago and I'm really enjoying all of them. I'm Reggie from Tijuana Mexico. Air hugs.
Welcome Reggie :):):) Thank you so much. I am glad you are enjoying my videos.
This vid is really what i was looking for. Thanks!
watching from Toronto, Canada :) Thanks for the information!
I saw another video on lighting which had me looking at my bulbs. Found out they were the ecosmart ones with 5000k. They are in my nightstand lamps which were most of my plants live and in the ceiling. I prefer growth over blooms. But I'm glad you talked about the blooms because at work I have an African violet that sits on my desk under my overhead lamp. Its about 3750k so now I know why its growing better than I thought.
I prefer growth too 🙂🙂🙂 haha really? Some people struggle with African violets so that’s good that you found the secret to growing them.
@@RootingMindfully I had a beautiful African violet I grew from some broken leaves a few years ago. Had it in a south facing window living it's best life. Bloomed so pretty. My female cat got jealous and pushed it put the window. Pissed doesn't even come close.....yeah the cat still alive.
Geez!!!! Wow!!! That is crazy!!! Lol I’m so sorry. Wow I don’t even know what to say. I would have been livid.
Hey I’m in Indiana, and thank you for sharing, I will definitely be getting more LED lights for my plant babies.
Welcome 🙂🙂🙂 that is awesome. Let me know how it goes 🙂🙂🙂
LED's for sure. (Few more pieces of advice. Pay attention to the CRI (Color rendering index) rating. The higher, the better....higher cri means you're closer to the light the sun produces. It also looks a lot better. Flood lights are also great for interious because you can mount them higher. The Feit Electric® 90W Equivalent PAR38 Bright White Dimmable LED Light Bulb.....is my personal favorite. At $5 a piece, it's the best value for money you can find. Lumens are a decent way to judge light intensity if you're using high cri LED's. PAR is what really matters, but like you said....you're not trying to get too technical. 5000k for vegging plants, 2700-3000 if they're blooming. Last piece of advice....I'm guessing you probably have some sort of lighting you use when you make your videos? Eitherway, I would suggest a 4000k model with a high CRI rating. Might cost a little more, but it's worth it. One thing you may not have known is that the warm (600 to 750nm) light in the spectrum helps bring out the warmer undertones in different shades of brown. Put simply, folks of color get cheated out of looking their best by some low CRI bad LED lighting. (Not saying ANYTHING negative about your appearance....just trying to give some useful advice.) I'm a nerd, not an asshole.
Yeah this video was directed more towards beginners and people who wanted a simpler version of buying grow lights. I appreciate your advice though. Thank you.
I also ordered a Sansi collab grow light😍thanks for the video!
No problem 😊
I have led daylight bulbs but havent used them yet. They grow plants in my aquariums so I figured it would work with house plants. Thanks for info.
Yesss that would work very well. Plants love the fish water as well.
Thanks for the informative video. I didn’t know that lumens aren’t an important factor when considering which grow lights to choose. It was driving me nuts trying to figure out what the lumen output would be.
(From The Netherlands 🇳🇱)
This has been very helpful thank you!
I’m from Ranburne Alabama and I’ve got six different grow lights in my home and I do get the ones you have that I can use with my regular lamps but I also have the four arm lighting and I love it to. I’m in the market for a couple more to use for maximizing the light for my plants so I’m looking to see what my next one is going to be.
Thank you for this. I'm in Mn and we dont get much sun here in the winter either so this is good info and i agree with the non mecury lights.They also give off radiation, so no mercury is great.
You are welcome. I hope it helped. Yeah that is definitely not a good thing.
best grow light video ever. super informative.
Thank you very much 🙂🙂🙂
Thank you this was so helpful I havent been able to find any grow lights because I didnt know what to look for but thanks to you now I do Lisa A
Yeah it can really be a confusing thing. I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
I am in the procewss of looking for grow lights. Most of my plants are in windows, but I have two lots that are not. I am from UK. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Thank you for watching. I am glad you enjoyed it 🙂🙂🙂

great video!!! can you tell me where you got that pillow on your sofa? it's beautiful.
You just convinced me to get my mom an LED light for her houseplants. I didn't realize they don't get hot and that's one of her biggest complaints about regular bulbs. She's afraid of setting the house on fire

Welcome :):):) I hope to go there some day and thank you for watching.
Make sure to check the actual power output/power draw or what the light actually consumes check in the product description cause most companies can be misleading I had to learn the hard way I thought I was getting a 1000watt light turns out it was only 120 watts
Very helpful and informative! 😊 thank you so much
