Why Your Plants Aren't GROWING with updates!

I've noticed that some of my plants are slowing down in growth since it is fall time. I decided to add a couple grow lights to supplement the light in order to continue growth. Hope this video helps you with your houseplants!

The Soltech Grove lights are so smart, and the warm dimmable light is gentle on the eyes. I also like the fact that you can swivel the bar to get a different light direction. All round it looks like a perfect solution to the reduced daylight months, and also for some apartments that have limited daylight exposure. Really informative video. Happy Birthday!...43 yrs old...just a Spring chicken :) (not telling you my age!).

I'm very surprised at their performance so far. Thanks for the bday wishes

Where I live now is the darkest house I’ve ever lived in.. I get maybe 1.5 hrs morning sun a day in one window, and that’s it. Finally bought a good grow light (also Soltech) been a little over a week and I’m already seeing a difference…and sadly singed a few. I prefer the real thing, but grow lights are the best substitute.

[@EverythingPlants]

Ya, that isn't much natural sunlight at all. Glad you like the light. Which one did you get?

[@EverythingPlants]

Grow lights are amazing and thank you for the bday wishes!

[@sbffsbrarbrr]

I don't use grow lights because I am not a huge plant enthusiast. I have a corner with four windows, two facing south and two facing west. Almost all my 30 odd plants are grouped there. If they can't survive in these conditions then they are not for me 😁. So far they are doing well and I've only killed 3 or 4 four in the five years I've live in this home, but I don't have anything that takes too much extra effort. The dogs are adorable, happy, happy birthday and I continue to be jealous of your jade plant.

[@EverythingPlants]

That is totally understandable. Thanks so much for the bday wishes

Really contributed to my success with plants althought my mystery still continues lol. Soil, water, temp, humidity, and light are in point br my Alocasia just refuses to grow any new leaves. No leaves are dying either though. Its just frozen. Thinking it just went dormant perhapes bc it also has natural sun and maybe isn’t fooled by my grow light 😂

@@EverythingPlants they seem nice but rather expensive but I'm just starting to look, no rush, my plants have never had grow lights . I usually get nailed on the shipping costs, I wish the companies would put them up front, I've cancelled lots of orders when the item is a quarter the price of the shipping. I'm in Québec and most of the items are in the US or China or Australia for plants 😂 at least the ones I look at.

[@MarisaAndChew]

Happy Birthday Jeff! 🎉 Love the shirt! Crazy how fast plants respond to light! It's like Daryl from history journal says, there is a maintenance level of light where your plant won't die but it won't thrive and then there is an optimal grown level of light which is why we should be using a light meter of some sort! It blows my mind how much the light changes even from one inch to the next esp in windows! Like the left side of the window may be 2000 FC and the right side may be 200 FC and to the naked eye, it looks the same! I LOVE daylight coloured grow lights or even regular lights! It's like I installed a window instead of a lightbulb! I'm sure that the grow lights also help with seasonal depression esp if you keep them on timers! My sansiveria zeylanica grew a ton this summer under a 250 watt equivalent LED bulb. One shot sticks up about double the height of the others but it grew so fast you can actually see a colour difference on that one stem! I wish my ZZ's would get excited one of these days!

[@EverythingPlants]

Yes....it is quite surprising the differences with light levels close to the windows.

Hi Jeff...belated b-day wishes. Did you happen to check what the foot candles are on the shelves after installing the lights? I have a milsbo tall and wondering if I would need 2 of the grove light. Thanks for sharing so much plenty advice.

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks for the bday wishes. I'd have to double check again but I remember it being in the 400-600 FC range (I think) with them being that close

[@erin5283]

I had he exact same question! I’ve seen so many videos of people with one light at the top and after I ordered it and received it, I used a light meter to see how it did and was really surprised at how low the foot candles were. I am definitely going to order another one for the bottom shelf in my cabinet but am almost wondering if I need 2 at the top. I might just adjust the top shelf so it’s closer to the light but not sure yet. I couldn’t believe how low the foot candles were compared to the $$$. I’m really curious at how these are working for people long term….

Eventually I'll try the grove light. I'm just not crazy about my Aspect. It's so strong that anything directly in its way burns, but the ppfd is like nothing in the outer cone, so it's about too much or too little. 🤷‍♀️ I might like Sansi better.

I just bought some sansi....the gooseneck ones and those are bright.

@@NFAslan if you going on soltechs website they have a grow quide. Essentially these are to be placed fairly close to plants... So I'd say they're designed for a shelf. Medium light is listed as between 1 to 12 in from the plant. Now when I use my light meter in that 1 to 12 in range I guess between 400 to 600 foot candles There are different styles of lights that produce higher for candles but for a shelf this is the perfect light
