Hi all! I have about 15 various houseplants in my southern and western windows. I.E. Lipstick vine, Purple Passion Vine, Swedish Ivy, Succulants, Hoya, Ponytail Palm, Goldfish Plant etc. Unfortunately I'm soon moving to a side by side twin home w/no Southern windows and one small West window. Does anyone know which grow lights best mimic a southern exposure. I must keep my babies!!!!!

Hi,
The best lights for growing plants are the cheap shop lights you can get a Menards. Then just use the cool white bulbs. Keep them within a few inches of your plants.
