Question

Can regular light bulbs grow plants?

Answer

Yes, but not as effectively as specialized plant lights. Regular light bulbs can provide some amount of light necessary for photosynthesis, which is essential for plant growth. However, these bulbs may not emit the ideal spectrum of light that many indoor plants require to thrive optimally. Specialized plant lights like fluorescent tubes or LEDs are designed specifically to mimic natural sunlight more closely, promoting healthier and faster plant growth.
