Help with grow light for palms???

Question

I have a indoor palm that needs more light than it's currently getting. I just bought a tube grow light for plants from wal mart. My palm needs medium light, so how long should i leave the light on it? and how close or far away should the light be?

Answer 1

If artificial light is the main or only source of light for plants, the lamps should be lit 12 to 14 hours per day and be 6 to 12 inches from plants. Blooming plants will require up to 16 hours and should be no more than 4-6 inches away from lights. It is important that some indoor plants have a regular light/dark schedule.

I hope this is what you were looking for.
