Can plants stay alive under grow lights?
I have a couple plants in my apartment that do not get enough light. There are no windows that give enough light for them. I was wondering if getting a grow light would help them. If so what kind of grow light would be best and where would I get it?
why do you think they are called grow lights? If they didn't stay alive they would be called die lights...what a ridiculous question.
Go to your local hardware/garden centre or hydroponics shop and they can hook you up with some "grow lights"
Be warned that they are expensive, take a lot of power to run and can be annoyingly bright. They aren't typically used for keeping house plants alive.
I suggest you get some different plants that can tolerate lower light.
