Plant Grow Lights – How To Choose The Right Ones

Plant grow lights could be the missing substance for happy indoor plants.

What is the first factor you are taking advantage of when you buy indoor plants? Soil type, watering frequency, or light? In a matter of fact, they are all matter. Growing plants outdoor could seem an easier task, but today, when the technologies and innovations progress planting indoor greens, is kid stuff.

Whether you are growing orchids, succulents, pothos, or some exotic greenery, the plant grows lights that can make them happier, and healthier.

So you don’t have any excuse left to not starting grow indoor plants at home.

Plant Grow Lights - How To Choose The Right Ones

Choose Plants To Grow

Before you rush to buy plant grow lights you need to have a clear plan, what exactly you want to grow. For example, if you are planning to grow microgreens and seedlings you will need a blue light spectrum.

Microgreens usually need up to 6 hours of sunlight per day. If you are curious about how the seedling process goes with plant lights, it is important to know two general rules. Number one: use the lights for up to 16 hours. Number two: blue light spectrum is perfect to choose.

What you should know if you planting blooming plants? The best is blue light because absorbed by the chlorophyll and converted into energy through photosynthesis. Besides the blue light, you need to combine it with red light which actually promotes flowering.

Consider The Height

Plant grow lights come in many variations, and styles. Of course to pick the right ones, you need to consider the height both of your plants, and the light itself.

It is true that many of the lights are adjustable and can be easily placed almost anywhere thanks to their clips, and stands. One of the huge advantages of the grow lights is the mobility. Usually their neck is flexible in order to lead the head exactly where you want.

Do not forget to consider exactly the coverage area. According to some recommendations is 20 to 40 watts of coverage per square foot. The simplest way to do the math is to divide by 20 from the wattage of your potential grow lights.

Decide On Spectrum

Grow lights come in many different spectrums. This is because the plants need different light spectrum according to their stage of growth. From the blue and red end spectrum to green and yellow. When you grow a baby plant, it needs to develop its roots, and to establish leaves. So blue light is the best one for the vegetitive period. Red light spectrum is needed to make your plants bloom, and produce fruits.

You can find full-spectrum lights or targeted lights. Of course, full-spectrum lights are more preferable because they can provide the full sunlight spectrum. In other words, they can imitate the sunlight more naturally, and give the exact needs in any stage of growth.

Targeted spectrum can provide only blue, or red light. They are more targeted for specific growth needs and stages.
