=== Grow Lights ===

Grow lights are devices that emit a spectrum of light similar to the sun, and in some cases can be an imperfect solution to a plant for inadequate lighting. Grow lights come in all shapes, sizes, and levels of brightness. Some are merely bulbs that can fit into your existing lights. Grow lights are often overlooked because they may feel unnatural to the plant owner, but the health of your plant is much more important, and plants that require bright indirect light (like indoor palm trees and cactus's) will be much happier with them if your house cannot provide the bright indirect light they need. Grow lights with dimming options are great for beginners, as they can make more difficult plants easier to care for. Not all plants will appreciate a strong grow light however. A Peace Lilly for example may receive burned leaves and discolored flowers when receiving too much light. Grow lights may also help you during winter during the many days your plants don't receive much might. Grows light can even allow outdoor plants to grow inside your home with varying levels of success. '''Just remember that you should never leave your plants exposed to grow lights for more than 12 hours. ~~Get~~ a ~~grow light~~ with timer, or a timed outlet.'''
