Question

Can I use fluorescent light bulbs to help my indoor garden thrive?

Answer

Yes, you can indeed use fluorescent lighting systems to promote plant growth indoors. Fluorescent lights mimic some aspects of natural sunlight, helping your plants to photosynthesize effectively even if they're not getting direct sun exposure. However, it is essential to choose the right type of fluorescent lights - either T5 or Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFLs) – as well as ensuring proper placement and duration of light exposure to ensure optimal results for your indoor garden.
