I have added another tool to my indoor plant garden that has been very helpful. I have a small home and limited space for the amount of plants and seed-starting that I would love to grow. I need a few tools that work very well rather than large or mediocre systems. My newest addition, a gooseneck, table lamp style grow light is good-looking, adjustable to fit in a variety of spaces, and my pepper starts are growing great with it.
In 2023, I wrote a review about LED light bulbs that were very helpful for starting and growing plants in my window garden. They are effective. I use an open shelf for the plants and hang the bulbs from the top racks. I can choose the strength and color of the bulbs to suit the plants and I can adjust the height by loosening or tightening the cords. Imagine a pendant light that hangs from the ceiling and you can choose the height above your work space. These bulbs and cords are very effective but not very pretty to look at.
I have added another light to aid my plants inside. It is the gooseneck, table lamp style. I like that I can set it on a flat surface then move the four light arms, in any direction, to light a specific plant. I ordered the four light, SYEIORAOM brand light. They also have a 6-light version. And there many different brands to choose from; including versions that have a shelf clamp rather than a table lamp base.
The site advertises the SYEIORAOM adjustable gooseneck LED light as:
- LED grow light with full spectrum, Red White light
- 72 LED light beads
- Telescopic pole; adjusts height
- flexible goose neck that can bend and adjust 306 degrees
- 59" long power cord with a convenient on/off toggle switch
- attractive modern style
This table-top lamp is more attractive than my hanging bulbs. It would be attractive on someone's desk at work, in a dorm room, or on a countertop herb garden. I have used this for 3 solid months and I have a planter of pepper plants are that healthy, and happy soaking up the light.

Hydroponics for Small Spaces: I also wrote about my recent first experience with a small hydroponics system. I am sorry that I waited so long to try this growing system in my small space. I had fresh salad greens during cold months and now I'm using it to start seeds that will be transplanted outside. You can read my reviews of that hydroponics system here:

Another very neat discovery! I really like the 4 arms that can be moved in different directions. That would certainly give coverage for more plants. Seems like it would eliminate the need to have the perfect window setting to grow indoor plants.
ReplyDeleteAs Sylvestermouse pointed out, this gooseneck lamp with LED grow lights would solve the problem of not having a window setting for growing indoor plants. My apartment only has windows on one side and that side doesn't leave a lot of room for setting up an area for growing plants. This sounds like the perfect solution. Thanks, Dawn Rae.
ReplyDeleteI like the flexibility of the four gooseneck arms on your tabletop plant light as well as its attractiveness. Thanks for your recommendation!
