For more casual plants, this is great. My tineke rubber tree and monstera deliciosa each have their own bulb and have been absolutely thriving. I also recommend getting a timer to plug it into.
They fit perfectly into our kitchen recessed lights and provide great illumination. Make sure to put up a curtain (preferably reflective) or install them in a fixture with a reflector/shield.
It is in the winter season and my pothos is still sprouting new leaves. I have a bunch of new growth on my miniature roses. I also have a modest sized colocasia that had grown numerous green leaves.
These bulbs are terrific. They are 9 watts which doesn't cost much electricity. The par value is higher for these th than the feit br30 bulbs.
This bulb needs to be around 6-9 inches over the plant in order to work. It messes up the décor of my living room and is in general an eyesore.
Works great for starting seeds from peat pellets. I have this set up over succulents.
It is compact, with a dimmable light and timer. The height is adjustable for different size pots.
My favorite part is probably the timer function. This allows me to tailor the settings to how my plant likes it. The only downside is that it seems to be coming on later and later.
The timer is an incredible hassle to get it to work. The controller does nothing and the light just flashes a bit.
