Is your home light-challenged? Or perhaps you have just run out of window space for that extra plant you just had to have? No need to watch your indoor plants slowly wither away, adding a grow light to your indoor plant setup is a great way to support strong, healthy growth in your plants. 

Unfortunately, while traditional light bulbs keep our homes nice and bright for us, they don’t benefit our plants, which require very specific types of light in order to grow. On the spectrum of visible light, the best wavelengths for photosynthesis occur at the blue range (425 to 450 nanometers) and the red range (600 to 700 nanometers), while traditional light bulbs fall right in the middle (500 to 700 nanometers). Red light supports flowering while blue light supports vegetative and structural growth. However, both types of light are essential to supporting balanced, healthy plant growth. Grow lights provide indoor plants with the type of light that they need in order to photosynthesize. They can either mimic the full light spectrum of the sun (called full-spectrum lights) or emit specific wavelengths in the blue or red ranges.

Indoor plants require more light than most homeowners realize, and a lack of natural light is an all-too-common houseplant ailment. Grow lights are used to increase the amount of usable light available to indoor plants which can help increase nutrition, speed up growth, accelerate flowering.
