Ok.. I know this is probably a stupid question.. but I just bought an indoor plant and brought it to work with me. It says "low light" is required, but I've had it for 2 weeks and it's not looking so good.. i think it's not getting enough sunlight. If I put it underneath a lamp at my work, will this give it the light it needs, or does it need to be specifically SUN light?
Indoor plant - need sun light or lamp lights?
Low light means.....less light. You are probably giving it too much light. Try putting it where there is less light further back into a room. Not to close to a window or skylight.
Reply:what kind of lamp
?
if it is the right kind it might be OK
what kind of plant
stores are notorious for labeling plants low light
when they really need quite a bit
but it is easier to sell a low light plant
if it is too close to an incandescent bulb it will get burned
fluorescent bulbs have some available light
there are gro-light bulbs you can buy that go into regular fixtures
Reply:instead of using the typical incendescent light...throw a cfl (compact floro light) in the lamp. They are the newer spiral lookin' bulbs...small plants love em and they also use less electricity. Last much longer as well.
Reply:You mentioned it's an indoor plant so why do it need sunlight.what type of plant is it.any pics will be helpful.
