Grow lights give sun-deprived indoor plants [1] the green light — or rather, the purple light — to produce energy and stay healthy. Not all plant parents have access to enough light for their foliage babies, and colder seasons can mean less sunlight in general. Some houseplants, such as succulents [2] and edible plants [3], also require more light to truly thrive. If your plant isn't getting the light it needs, you can always supplement natural light with energy-efficient LED grow lamps. Most manufacturers will produce grow lamps that emit a purple colour, as blue and red light wavelengths are important in plant development. From clamp-on grow lights to panels, we've rounded up the best LED grow lights to give your indoor plants a little TLC all year long!
