Please critique my setup!

hi sommeil,
I like your setup. Means other people can enjoy your indoor garden too by the looks of it.
Tbh there isn't that much you can change without either making it look more like a lab or like an indoor disco.

The plants might benefit but since everyone on the street can see your setup I wouldn't make it stand out excessively.
Most of your plants should do fine as is - the only one I am a bit dubious about is the vanda but I haven't got much experience with vandas and don't know how hot your window gets.

As to the light you are getting - that gets a big fat no from me. That is decade old technology and completely outdated rubbish. The blurple lights work but you want something that is as good as sunlight, not just something "that just works" - not to mention the light they emit is horrible to look at.

If you are going to go for a supplemental growing light you want to get yourself a full spectrum white led grow light. Either cob or quantum board. Both pretty expensive and probably overkill for your situation which is why it is good that IKEA sell a pretty cheap (not quite as good) good alternative. Their vaxer grow light bulbs plug in to a regular light socket and come in 7 and 10 watts. Since your light was 60 watts, you could get 6 ikea lamps. But you will need 6 light fixtures to go with that which probably costs half as much as the bulbs ontop. They are good though and can be placed as close or as far away from different plants as desired which is a bonus and they emit a nice white light.

I mentioned not turning your space into a lab but the vanda might benefit from getting a little enclosure of its own. It likes high temps and high humidity so some kind of sideway placed aqaurium or see through display cabinet to keep heat and humidity in.

Ps: I only mention 6 ikea lights because that wuld be the equivalent of the light you were looking at but 6 is probably overkill for your setup - 3 would do imo and you can always get more later on
