I want to give these to my teachers when the return this fall. Our offices have no window, but we have artifical lighting. Would they grow in situatio

They are a desert plant and need a lot of sun. They don't need much water which with too much get fungus.

They really need indirect lighting. Just artificial lighting will probably cause them to die. At farm and garden stores they sometimes have little lights that mimick this. Not super expensive. If you're really set on getting your teacher a succulent try to include this type of light with it.

More than likely they would die. Succulents are cactus related species and require sun. The artificial lighting may work in large quantities but if your office has an 8-4 or 9-5 working schedule they will not do very well.

I wish I knew what to tell you. I too planted my bulbs late. They came up and were green but have now gone dormant. I plan to leave them in and expect they will adjust and begin growing in late summer when they shoud. I know that's not much of an answer, but thought I'd let you know my plans. Good luck and let's hope we have some saffron come Christmas!

It depends how low they are hanging, but in general I would say no...you're better off having some stronger lighting.

they will grow just fine there. As for the height, it's a vine, so what ever you have it growing up or around will determine that. Winter growth would depend on where you live.

The run time is directly proportional to amount of light received. Sure they will work but they may not be illuminated for hours and hours.

Well, They should grow in indoor plants. Do not use micRacle grow unless they look puny!

I have mine about 10" above seedlings, and honestly the light does not spread much past the 12x12 frame. But they are growing like crazy!

Absolutely, they are move of an indoor plant anyway, however you can speed up its growth by transplanting it outside during the warmer months. I hope this helps :)

I lined them up to a sun-lit window. You might also consider a floor lamp, ceiling light, or battery-operated touch light. Maybe a ball.

Sorry, but I'm not sure. I purchased them to soften the lighting in my classroom.

There are no directions, so I think they can just be planted. I started them indoors because I was in too big of a hurry for winter to end!

Probably so. They have a very sticky back. I stuck them under my kitchen cabinet. I must tell you though, that they are not a very bright light.

I have an Agrosun FLC32D grow light next to me as I write--it's in a standard-size table lamp with an ivory fabric shade covering it. I've had really good results with these. My place is surrounded by trees, so it's dark inside. I haven't had a plant in the living room die from lack of light since I bought these. Occasional inattention, yes; lack of light, no.

Probably do to the ambient light or the florescent lights in your classroom

Sure, but the lighting is mild. If you need a stronger light, like a blue or yellow day light, I suggest putting one of those in a clamp on work light.

Only if u let the top of plants grow into bulbs then they will burn. As long as u have a fan and a ventilation system u will love these lights. I got 2 of these and they rock.

Yes and no sweetie. You need a wide spectrum fluorescent set up along with some metal halides until the flowering begins. Then you need to add a regular incandescent light bulb, about 100w for every 6 sq. ft. of floor growing space. Lucky you got a hold of me. I'm Jay Essex. You can see me at JayEssex.com. I'm a bit different than other people but I also don't wear overalls for no reason. I used to take a lot of trips to Jamaica and lived in California. Nuff said. You also need to watch your fertilizer when germinating and later towards the flowering. Take care and have fun.
