Janice started African violets in a bright window (no direct sun) and bought adjustable 2-tube fluorescent grow lights (2-4 inches above plants). Asked if suitable and how long to run.
Fluorescent grow lights are excellent—full spectrum, cool, consistent. Professionals use them 24/7 or 14-16 hours daily. Janice's adjustable setup is ideal.
East/southeast window with sheer curtain works well. Move back in summer when sun intensifies. Author's 12 plants bloom well on windowsills.
If budget allows, keep lights—they guarantee optimal spectrum. Run 12-14 hours. Follow manufacturer's distance guidelines. Combine with consistent moisture and half-strength fertilizer.
