fluorescent lamps?

Aug 06, 2005 0 Replies

I have a question about fluorescent lighting.



I have an old school desk that my dad refinished years ago and gave to me. Its a wonderful old piece of history. I have converted it to holding my african violets. My question is 2-pronged:



Do ordinary fluorescent lights provide a decent wavelength for plant growth or only the fluorescent "plant lights"? (the reason i ask is now i can buy fluorescent "screw in lights" for replacing in a standard lamp, i think.



Is there a tabletop fluorescent lamp I can purchase?



Do incandescent "plant lights" do any good? (it seems like i have read they dont)


thanks for any advice.
