How to grow plants cheap! Lights for bioactive terrarium

[shaqqaboom]

I know this may sound stupid but I’m a beginner to reptile keeping and was wondering whether you need a bioactive enclosure to have living plants in the enclosure? Great short!

Most plants require between 4000-7000 ppfd

What wattage do you recommend? You have a 75w in the video. Would this be enough for a 4x2x2 lighting up the cool side?

How do you put it on top bc I’ve got a 90cm by 45cm exo terra and ideally I want the back wall lit up more, but don’t want to pay 80 bucks for a compact top from exo terra, also, is there any brands that grow plants but you can change the colour of?

Im getting one soon and i wanted to use atleast one or two live plants but it wont be a bioactive enclosure... how would I keep those plants alive and healthy?

Can an led light reach plants through a plastic bin bioactive setup?

I recently got a led grow light and I didn’t realize how bright it is and all my plants are medium light and one low light, will it be okay? or do i need to take it out?

So if you only have uvb, your plants will die?

Is exo terra natural light good for crested gecko bioactive

Can the led be placed over the glass and plants will still grow?

How long should I keep the light on for?

[momofrose]

What other light are you using in that tank that makes it so bright?

[meganingold]

I'm so confused. So you're tellin me that I don't need to pay the extra money for the LED GROW light? It can just be a regular shmegular LED bulb?! If so, that saves a nice little chunk!!! ✌🏽💚

Can succulents in dry bioactives survive without lighting?😊
