Horticultural lamp for indoor plants - Horticultural growth lamp - Full spectrum plant lamp with 2 bulbs

This lamp emits a full spectrum that covers all wavelengths useful to plants, from blue (400-500 nm) to red (600-700 nm).

The blue spectrum stimulates stem and leaf growth, while red promotes flowering and root development. This combination closely replicates natural sunlight.

Use it all year round, especially from October to March when natural light decreases significantly.

Be careful not to confuse these with single-spectrum lamps, which only cover part of the plants' light requirements.

Attach the lamp clamp to the edge of a shelf, pot, or piece of furniture near your plants. Adjust the angle of the two heads using the flexible gooseneck arms.

The ideal distance between the lamp and the foliage is between 20 and 40 cm. Too close, and you risk burning the leaves. Too far, and the light intensity will be insufficient.

Program 8 to 12 hours of lighting per day, preferably in addition to available natural light.

Avoid leaving the lamp on 24 hours a day: plants need a period of darkness for their rest cycle.

All tropical indoor plants appreciate supplemental light, particularly Monstera, Calathea, Philodendron, Hoya and Anthurium.

These species, native to tropical forests, naturally receive filtered but constant light. Indoors, especially away from windows, they often suffer from a lack of photons for photosynthesis.

Observe your plants: leaves that are becoming etiolated, stems that are growing abnormally long or slowed growth indicate a light deficiency.

Succulents and cacti can also benefit, but with a reduced exposure time of 6-8 hours.

The most common mistake is placing the lamp too close to the leaves, causing burns which manifest as brown spots or drying of the edges.

Excessive lighting (more than 14 hours) disrupts the plant's natural cycle and can deplete its energy reserves, leading to general weakening.

Maintain a minimum distance of 20 cm and respect a night period of 10 to 12 hours without artificial light.

If you notice leaves turning yellow despite the lamp, also check the watering and the quality of the substrate before blaming the lighting.

To maximize the benefits of lighting, combine the lamp with afine mist sprayerwhich maintains the ambient humidity appreciated by tropical plants.

Light stimulates photosynthesis, but your plants will also need nutrients.liquid fertilizerapplied during the complete growth period perfectly solves the equation.

For climbing plants like Monstera, add atutorwhich will guide their growth stimulated by the lamp.

A suitable substrate such as theenriched universal substrateensures a healthy base to fully benefit from the lighting.

The light from a window varies depending on its orientation, the season, the weather, and external obstacles. It can range from 10,000 lux in summer to less than 1,000 lux in winter, a considerable difference for your plants.

The grow light offers constant and controllable intensity, independent of external conditions. It also allows for the illumination of areas far from windows where natural light never reaches.

Ideally, use the lamp as a complement to natural light rather than as a total replacement, for lighting closer to real conditions.

In winter or in a dark room, the lamp becomes essential to keep your plants healthy until the return of warmer weather.
