    It needs more sun - introduce it gradually to it.

    Yes it does. Ive been putting it under a grow light

    You can leave it under the light; just start with light little further from the plant, and moving it closer every couple of days. How many hours/day is it under the light?

    Couple of hours will not help much. Set it as suggested (little further away from the bulb and gradually moving closer), and leave the lights on longer. If it is relatively dark, I would leave lights on for approx. 12 hrs.

    Ah ok so further away but for more time?

    Yes, I would put plant in its permanent location, position light above and leave plant there permanently. I am suggesting to start with a bigger distance from the light bulb since I do not know how dark or light it has been where it is kept.

    Where is the light that you need to move plant under it?

    Thanks. I will be able to move the light and not the plants

    Hi i was wondering can i use a normal desk light to help my plants when it's really dark?

  • 9 years ago

    You can use any light fixture, the light bulb needs to be good enough to make any difference. Using CFL or LED lightbulb will give them very good light. I use bulb like these:


    Note all the details: it is 100W incandescent equivalent - but uses only 23W (LED uses even less). High Lumens and Kelvins are best. Pictured bulbs are 6500k (marked on bottom right); this is very bright light & good for plants. What kind of bulb are you using now?

    This is the kind of lamp im using now for a few plants but i have no more room in that place so i would be putting some more under a smaller desk lamp which is this.

    Will this one be good enough to make any difference?

    Can you can you show us the "business end" of the lamp? It will likely do fine as the bulb will be most important. Keep in. Ind, that if this and your other lamp are single bulb fixtures, and if you think you may be obtaining more plants in the not so distant future, you may want to look for multi bulb light fixtures.

    Yes this is what it looks like. It's definitely not as powerful as the other lamp as that one has a long thing bulb in it. And yes im planning on getting more plants so that would be a good idea thank you.

    Not absolutely sure since can't see it very well, but it looks like a Bi Pin halogen lightbulb, and only 20W. These are good for task lighting, but I am afraid that it won't be much help to your succulents. If I am correct, they have only about 200 Lumens and 2800 K. Too weak for plant light.
