Grow Lights - Simple Beginner's Guide - Guide To Grow Lights For Houseplants - How and When To Use
In this video I try to make artificial grow lights less bewildering, keeping it as simple as possible as it can be so confusing when you read up on them. So the aim was to make this a simple beginner's guide.
I explain why we need and use grow lights for houseplants and plants in general, how and when to use them, the types of lights out there and colour wavelengths. I share my experience of trying to find the best lights I needed that had an IP rating.
I will be doing a another video which will get more technical covering PAR, LUX, PPFD, TEMP and more but this video is a good all round easy place for anyone to get some information about grow lights
The Lights I use which are featured in this video are:
IKEA grow lights ( discontinued loved these)
Arcadia Jungle Dawn LED

    I have three leaves with stem in a bottle of water that I change weekly. No sign of roots after a few weeks, but the stems are black on the ends. Is that normal? Or are these stems a lost cause?

  • @lisap1776
    @lisap1776 Před 2 měsíci

    This is called fasciation. It is a growth response caused by a virus. It is not a part of your money plant, looks like the other plant you mentioned. In nature, they occur quite commonly. For instance, on evergreen coniferous trees, these unusual growths are called "witches brooms", and are the sources for dwarf conifers, being vegetatively propagated and grown on from them. The art form of Ikebana also employs floral versions of certain plants for their Japanese arrangements.

    Thank you! I’ve recently got an alocasia as a gift and after my cat decided to chew on it, it started to lose leaves :( I always wanted to try pon, as I know that plants flourish in it, so I transferred my plant. I immediately put it in water, but I felt like this is not right, and your advice on letting it adapt was exactly what I thought about! So, I keep fingers crossed and hope my plant adapts well)
