Hey there. I grew some Stephania and want to give one to my friend but where she wants to put it will require some supplemental lighting.

There’s nothing above it so undershelf lights won’t work. She understandably doesn’t want a floor stand or clip-on light in her foyer, either.

So I’m looking for something like the photo…minus the “smart” app stuff. There’s a lot of crap brands on Amazon and I only really know of Barrina and SANSI whose options aren’t great for this.

Any suggestions?

(The light in the picture is a Glowrium but I know nothing about them)

    Secondhand anglepoise lamps with clamps so they can be attached up high for bigger plants, and the cheapest and brightest white bulbs I can find in multipacks, are what I use.

    I have 60 plants (currently), mostly tropicals and succulents, and they’ve been thriving under these lamps and mostly without natural light for nearly a decade now. My monstera is fucking massive, to the point where every year or so I remove a section of at least 3 or 4 leaves to keep it able to fit in my flat.

    You really don’t need to be shelling out for fancy lamps or bulbs to have most plants grow indoors!
