Light Easy
What plant is easy to maintain and can grow quickly? Also, what kind of light bulb is best for growing plants?
I have a biology project where I have to grow a plant in a month under artificial light, but the plant has to be easy to maintain and have a woody stem. I also don’t know what kind of artificial light fixture to use and what kind of wattage would be best. I don’t want it to get to hot for the plants. The light fixture needs to be inexpensive and easy to find. Thanks for any help!
Have you considered a bonsai tree? There are several tropical trees that will grow nicely indoors under a grow lamp or simply near a window.
Based on your “woody stem” requirement, I would recommend something like a Chinese Elm or a Ficus trees. Most Ficus Bonsai Trees will lose their leaves when they are moved to a different growing conditions (indoors, under a light), but that will also give you a chance to see the trees branch structure.
To answer your light question. Ask your local home improvement store guy for a plant bulb (Fluorescent bulb). But remember, most plants, including the Ficus needs some darkness. You also want to purchase an inexpensive timer for your light. Good luck
