    I have "houseplants" that are sitting on my porch for now , but will have to bring them in in a few months.

    Even tho I have east facing windows they don't get enough light through them.

    I have been looking at grow lights and there are a plethora of them , are there anyone's that are recommended? I know I keep seeing between 5000-7000 kel

    I’ve been using these for three years now https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BCPMN32C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
    They last about 2 years (some much longer), are cheap, have timers (chose of 4 settings). They will burn the leaves of some houseplants if placed too close to leaves. My basement plants only use these and the overhead light.
    IMG_8954.jpeg There are two at the base of the large plant pot with another shining from the smaller Hoya pot. The six dracaena trees have all grown 8-12 inches in the last 2 years and are in the single pot. They have always been in the basement 12 feet from a small north facing window. I also use these little lights upstairs for supplemental source of light for some of my living room plants.

    The overhead light is something like this in the basement https://www.homedepot.com/p/NICOR-D...-Ceiling-Light-4000K-DSE921204KRDWH/311460035. This is my art room.
