Types of plants: Whether you're growing plants indoors or outdoors, not all plants can be treated equally.

For additional information, browse our gardening section to learn how to handle different types of plants. We’ve had our fair share of night lights since LP was born. The most recent being the Gro Egg that we reviewed last year– A great room thermometer that gives a warm glow at the same time. We’ve also had a few baby monitors which have night lights built in. The one thing we have never tried is a dedicated nightlight other than plug in ones – All of which we have found to be either too bright, not bright enough or in the wrong area of a room to be of any use.

Kelvin - Light bulbs will often be rated with a K number, this is the measure of the colour of light. Lower K numbers are warmer more red coloured lights (good for stimulating flower growth), higher K numbers are cooler more blue coloured lights. For good foliage and root growth a cooler colour light with a kelvin rate of around 6500k is optimum. Place the bulbs in the hole with their ‘nose’, or shoot, facing upwards. Space them at least twice the bulb’s own width apart Lay the bulbs on a tray to dry for at least 24 hours, to help prevent fungal rots developing in storage.

Make sure to verify the size of a bulb before purchasing it to ensure you have an appropriate fixture to add it to. This isn't just for bulbs either. Some lights can be up to two to three feet long, and if you don't have the space for a light like that, we wouldn't recommend purchasing one.In containers, make sure bulbs don’t dry out during the growing period. When watering, water thoroughly and allowthe soilto become slightly damp before watering thoroughly again. The compost should feel moist but not soggy. You can use them during flowering and vegging, - they’ve been colour adjusted. You’ll get a broad light spectrum with lots of orange, red and blue light. Only keep healthy bulbs of a good size as these will be most likely to flower the following year– discard damaged or diseased bulbs.
