If you haven’t added grow lights to your plant care kit but have always been meaning to, you’re at the right place.

Grow lights use electricity to produce light particles that plants use to photosynthesise and plants use photons of a certain wavelength/colour to produce energy – this is why not any old LED light can be used as a ‘grow light’. Grow lights are designed to optimise growth of seedlings and plants, especially during winter where the sun is (more often than not) in hiding. 

So, don’t be caught off guard this season. Keep your house plants looking greener than ever with our top picks of grow lights to add to your plant care collection.
