Using an LED Bulb as a Grow Light

Guide Growing Plants With Artificial Lights

Is it harmful to use a 60W LED bulb for an indoor plant? I have an avocado plant and I use this LED for it, but I don't know if it is safe or not? I had an avocado last year and I put it outside, but it was cold and after one week the buds dropped onto the soil and the plant died. So I decided to keep my new avocado indoors at home. I will be appreciate it if someone can answer my question. By the way, my soil is organic also no buds and very clean soil.

Thank you.

There are special bulbs for plants. I got mine at Home Depot and paid about $5 for it.

It is not harmful, but may not do much for the plant. This website explains it much better than I can:

Avocados plants grown indoors do need a lot of light. Do you have a nice sunny window? That may be the best option!

Hi,

I actually found an article from NASA that explains how LED lights help plants. The article indicates that red and white LED lights are the best.
