Question
I have a small collection of cacti, nothing exotic, mostly what I can buy from local greenhouses (and the local WalMart) here in Virginia.  What is the best kind of artificial lighting to keep them alive indoors during the winter?  The windows in my home do not have a good southern exposure.  Thanks.

Answer
Dear Jim,

I apologize, but I have absolutely zero experience in artificial lighting - all of mine are outdoors.

Please go to the Cactus and Succulent Forum of Garden Web and do a search for artificial lighting. Other resources are searching the archives of cacti_etc. and also posting your question at Garden Web at the above-referenced Forum.

Kindly,

Jeff
