When it comes to wattage, Rogers advises you'll need roughly 20 to 45 watts per square feet of grow space.

Blue and red lights are meant for more specific growing goals, such as supporting vegetative growth (blue light) or flowering and fruiting (red light). "We recommend and personally use full-spectrum LED grow lights, because they emit a white or natural light," says Rogers. While you'll find some decent fluorescent and incandescent grow lights, they are also less efficient (think higher energy cost and shorter life span). Weeding through the choices of different styles, types, and wattage to find the best grow lights can be confusing. "They allow you to grow plants further into your home, where natural light wouldn’t normally shine." And the best part? You'll be able to grow your favorite indoor plants all year long! "We love using grow lights," says Tylor Rogers from Arium Botanicals. Grow lights help you grow succulents, geraniums, and even vegetables indoors, and turn your home into a green oasis. Spring is in full bloom, and you're inspired to put your green thumb to use.
