Plant Tip for Rooms with Low Light- Grow Lights!

I love how much plants add to decor. I actually don’t have any faux plants in our home, no judgement if you do! That being said, it can be hard to put plants in every room, especially those rooms with no windows or poor lighting. Plants won’t grow and slowly die if they don’t get light. Don’t let that stop you, I have a solution!

I found a Grow Light Bulb a couple years ago around Christmas time because I wanted to put a plant in our basement to make room for a Christmas tree. I just replaced a ceiling basement light with a grow light bulb and it kept my fiddle leaf fig alive for two months! **You do need to have a grow light on about as long as a plant would see the sun, about 6-10 hours for some**.

Fast forward to moving into our rental apartment, we had bad lighting on half of the apartment. I replaced our can ceiling light for a grow light and my hanging plant loved it, I still have that same plant in our bathroom now!

In this windowless spot in our basement, I was able to put that umbrella plant on my cabinet all because of the grow lightbulb in the ceiling.

Another way to get light to plants is with a floor lamp that shines down. I used this floor lamp, and just a grow lightbulb over these snake plants. The lightbulb gives a nice warm glow, makes for a cozy spot too.

Lastly by our sectional, I used this grow lightbulb over my fiddle leaf fig (inside this wool basket). Works perfectly!
