A good bonsai grow light will help your tree survive in a room with little or no lighting. It’s not enough to simply use a regular light bulb for your plant; it needs special lighting that stimulates leaf growth and is more effective than ordinary bulbs. A grow lamp will provide a more consistent level of illumination that’s ideal for stimulating the growth of your plant’s leaves. However, HID lights are more expensive than ordinary light bulbs and will only give off a low level of light.
LED lights are a better choice than other forms of lighting because they produce a uniform wavelength that benefits your bonsai plant. The lights have an adjustable arm that will allow you to adjust the intensity of the light to meet the needs of your plants. They also have a long life expectancy and are ideal for growing indoors. They’re also a great choice if you have multiple plants. Some models have an adjustable light rack so that you can adjust the height of the light, as well as the intensity of the light.
Whether you’re growing indoor plants or seedlings, there are several types of artificial light available. LED, HID, and fluorescent lights each have their own benefits and recommended application settings. The ideal fluorescent light for your bonsai will be eight to ten inches from the canopy. It’s low-maintenance and doesn’t require any fuss with temperature control. For the best results, use 5000K CFL T5/T8 bulbs.
