Led Bonsai Tree
What is the best of my bad grow light options?
I recently received an 8 year old Bonsai Tree that I am keeping by the window in my apartment. I am worried that there is not enough light coming through the window to meet my plant’s needs.
Until I have the funds to purchase an actual grow light here is a list of the lights that I have that I can put on it in addition to the natural light coming in through the window. (note: I realize all of these are very poor options but something is probably better then nothing at all)
20W MR11 (which is halogen I think) table light
35W GY6.35 Lamp (also halogen I think) table light
BR0807/E17 7W Compact fluorescent (Ikea room light)
a couple LED night lights
Artograph lightpad (many LED based light pad)
also, is there a grow light bulb I can purchase later on that will fit in 1 of the first 2 fixtures I listed?
THANKS in advance!
you can pick up a cheap 75w grow bulb from your local hardware store. this will help the plant till you can get the light you desire.
