Any cheap grow lights? Also is there a specific type of grow light per plant or do they work for any plant?

I’m looking for some cheep grow lights on Amazon for a tiny shelf with glass walls, it would probably work if there were the strip versions of the grow lights but yeah, I need help finding trustworthy cheap options that are between 10-20 bucks for my small shelf, I’m not at home at the moment but when I get back in about two-ish days I’ll get you a picture of the shelf with measurements. But still help is appreciated.

i THINK, i don’t know if it’s true, but grow light are for many plants as long as you keep them close together :)

@izzyandsugar · Answer

Probably, there are many different grow lights around I assume, I don't have any but I will be getting some in the future once I build a planter for my plants.

I’ve used the Barrina lights and have been very happy with them. I like the warm color option because they’re in our living area and I do t like the blue/purple myself 😊

I like the Sansi grow lights. It’s been a while since I got them so I’m not sure of price 💰. But the work well and put out enough light. I like the individual clip ons.

It doesn’t really matter what kind of grow light but more on the distance you keep it from the plant.

Here’s the info I was given when I wanted grow lights. “different plants need different grow light intensities and spectra, though a versatile full-spectrum white LED works for most home setups.     Light Intensity by Plant Type- Low light plants (Snake plants, pothos, ZZ plants, ferns): Require lower wattage or placement farther from the bulb (2 to 4 feet away).  Medium-light plants -(Calathea, philodendron, herbs): Need moderate brightness at a medium distance.                                       High-light plants (Succulents, citrus, monsteras, fiddle leaf figs): Require high-output, powerful fixtures placed much closer to the foliage (12 to 18 inches).Light Spectrum by Growth Stage -      Blue light (Cooler tones, 5000K–7000K): Best for leafy green growth, stems, and starting seedlings.                                       Red light (Warmer tones, 3000K–3500K): Crucial for prompting flowers, fruit, and mature plant performance.                                 Full-spectrum white: Mimics natural sunlight, combining both blue and red wavelengths so you can grow any houseplant without a harsh purple glow.”. That being said- I know there are lights you can use like this one-  https://a.co/d/0iNLL6zm ….or these if you have a few plants https://a.co/d/0a6SEkpk . I like the brands Barrina and SANSI myself. Hope this helps.

@LikelyChaya33 Grow lights should generally be placed 12 to 24 inches away from plants, though the exact distance depends heavily on your light's intensity, wattage, and your plant's growth stage. Weak or fluorescent lights can sit just 2 to 6 inches away, while high-powered commercial LEDs or hot HID lights need 24 to 36 inches of clearance

These are mine. My succulents, Hoyas, and Tradescantias seem to especially like them 🪴☀️
