If you're looking for a grow light for your indoor plants, check out this indoor plant grow light that I'm using and love.
I recently relocated one of my plants from near a window to a dark corner, and knowing it would suffer from lack of light, I invested in this plant grow light, and I swear I heard my plant thanking me! Here's a photo of it:

Here are Some Benefits of an Indoor Plant Grow Light:
- Energy Efficiency: The grow light uses LEDs. It is designed to be energy-efficient.
- Adjustable Height: It has a 31-inch telescope grow rod, so you can adjust it to the height of most medium-height house plants.
- Full Spectrum: The grow light offers a full spectrum of light wavelengths, providing the highly-uniform light that plants need to grow.
- Self-Dimmable Control: The grow light can automatically simulate the intensity of natural sunshine, making it an excellent option for plants that need varying light levels. You can also adjust the light manually if you prefer.
- Full Range Timer: The remote control lets you set the auto stop and start times automatically between two and twenty-four hours.
- Nice Lighting Ambiance: When the grow light comes on automatically in the dark corner, it provides lovely lighting decor.
The grow light is easy to use and doesn't require any tools to set up:
- Plug the connecter into the top of the lamp
- Then plug it into an electrical outlet
- Adjust the rod extension bar to the height you need for your plant
- Put the rod directly into your plant
I took a guess about the light my plant needed, comparing it to its previous location, which was by a window. I chose the option "Real Sunshine" on the remote, and 4 hours.
The steps to use the remote are easy:
- Press "On" for the automatic timer settings ("M" is for manual settings, I don't use that one)
- I selected "S" for Real Sunshine
- I selected 4H for four hours of light
- Note: The real sunshine option slowly brings the light on, like the rising sun on a plant outside
I'm not a gardening guru by any stretch of the imagination, but my plant is even happier with the grow light than it was by the window. It's perkier, and I'm hoping the dark unhappy edges on a few leaves cease to occur.
However, I've recently read that those dry burnt-looking edges on the leaf tips may be from inconsistent watering and letting my plant dry out too long in between waterings - yep, I am guilty of that sometimes. I prefer to under-water, but in this plant's case, I may be under-watering too much.
This plant should do much better with this grow light and a better watering schedule.
What a handy source of light for indoor plants when you are not able to locate one near a window. And thanks for the tip about dry burnt-looking edges on the leaf tips being maybe due to inconsistent watering. I had that problem with a plant and never knew what was causing it. I only watered it once a week because that was what I thought it needed. My bad. :)
ReplyDeleteOh I like the idea of this grow light in a dark corner! Living in an apartment sometimes gets in the way of having as much light as we want for our plants. This would surely help in those situations. Thanks Barbara for checking this out and giving us your personal Thumbs Up! I will look into having one or two of these for our dim little corners too!
ReplyDeleteWe have have a couple of plants by a window to make sure they get the light that they need. With this handy grow light we could surely move them if needed. Thanks for the recommendation, Barbara.
ReplyDeleteI love the way this plant light works and its features. It’s like giving the plant a custom spotlight! I will definitely consider one of these to allow me to add a plant or two to locations that don’t get enough sun. Thanks so much for the recommendation.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great idea. Thanks for the recommend.
ReplyDeleteWe have several houseplants around our home and I don't always have a place close to a window for them to "live", especially at Christmas when I have extra decor out and about. This seems like the perfect solution for caring for a gifted houseplant that I really don't have room for.
