Correctly lighting an indoor plant can be confusing, especially if you are using artificial light alone. A foolproof way to get through designing indoor plant lighting is to contact a local greenhouse garden supply shop and get a special rig tailored for lighting your type of plant. This is easiest and most effective but can prove to be very expensive.

If you are a low-budget greenhouse gardener, you may want to lean toward the self-designed side. You can light most indoor plant setups with an inexpensive combination of incandescent, LED and compact fluorescent plant lights.
An effective model for the best type of light for most plants is the sun. Many plants require a full spectrum of the sun's rays to properly thrive. Attention to the types of lighting available for plants can help ensure that a plant gets all of the sunlight colors it needs.
Light qualities can be indirect, direct or diffuse. Direct lighting points the light directly on the plant. This is the most common method used to supply artificial light to a plant.Generally, when using artificial light as a primary source of plant lighting, using a combination of bulb types is necessary to give the plant all of the light it needs.
