Do you know that brightness has nothing to do with how much energy your plants actually receive when it

comes to light? In this Best of Growing Joy episode, I've chosen to re-release an amazing and deep-dive

interview on light with my plant friend and horticulturist and author Leslie Halleck, who literally

wrote the book on Growing Under Growlites called Gardening Underlights.

So today in this conversation, we're going to break down the science of growlites in a simple,

approachable way so you can confidently choose the right setup to keep your plants thriving

all winter long and beyond.

Welcome to the Growing Joy with Plants podcast, where we not only learn how to care for plants successfully, but how to simply and affordably use our plant babies to cultivate more joy

in our lives by doing so.

I'm Maria, former plant killer turned happy plant lady, author of Growing Joy,

The Plant Lover's Guide to Cultivating Happiness, speaker, podcaster, and most importantly,

your new best plant friend. On Growing Joy with Plants, you'll find conversations about

house plant care, gardening tutorials, and wellness through the lens of plants.

Plant care is self-care on growing joy.

Oh, I'm so happy to be here.

I have the very best time talking about plants with you.

Yay.

So I'm really excited because we had you on for that unbelievable two-part episode on understanding natural light.

It was a two-part episode.

You must go back and listen because Leslie dropped so many knowledge bombs on us.

But I thought the funny part about that book was you have a book about actually Growlites and not Natural Light.

So I was like, well, we have to have you back for another GrowLite 101 episode
