Do I need supplemental lighting for my phalaenopsis orchids?!
Default Do I need supplemental lighting for my phalaenopsis orchids?!

Hello everyone!

I previously created another thread for my otherwise seeming to be healthy phals that dont spike. I got some amazing advice from there! I apologize if I should have continued with my thread but I wanted to focus more on lighting.

I am going to include some pics of my current growing setup. My phals sit by a west facing window. My pics show my phals getting some direct light but this is only for a little bit until the sun shifts.

Now my question is after looking at my setup do you think supplemental lighting could be beneficial for my orchids? I want them to be healthy and in a state where they are able to spike if they want to.

The days have started getting longer and sunnier so I dont know if I'm better off just leaving everything as is or if some extra lighting could do some good.

I do not want to invest alot of money for the lights, I'm thinking of spending around CAD $30-60. I'm going to add some links of what I am considering.

Any advice or input on this topic would be greatly appreciated! I'm a complete newbie when it comes to grow lights. Thank you all in advance.
