| 0:00.0 | What's going on everyone? Kevin from Epic Gardening here. We're back with Leslie |
| 0:05.0 | Halleck, the author of Gardening Under Lights, and we're talking today about |
| 0:08.6 | plants that you have to light indoors and how you might do that. You know, certainly there are some low light plants that will do just fine with the ambient light in, |
| 0:17.6 | honestly, most rooms that aren't just pitch black. And I'm thinking of things like a ZZ plant or just plants you can almost ignore and they're going to be completely fine, |
| 0:26.0 | but there are a ton of plants that are going to need lighting in order to do well or even grow at all. |
