i've got a
plant stand that uses the fluorescent tube lights - the bulbs i use are the kind for
plants not the regular kind.
you don't need to keep your
plants in a closet to use grow lights! any place that you can mount a fluorescent tube fixture can be used for
growing plants - a kitchen counter top, a table in your living room (attach the fixture to the wall) or even an old bookcase. there are even small-size tubes that can be used in desk lamps.
north facing windows are good for any
plant that needs low-light or indirect light.
