Hi there,

I am a rookie gardener and I need help! I have three avocado plants that were growing strongly, but they are now in a basement with much less light available to them. They are starting to die, and I want to know what lights I should use for indoor plant lighting? I heard there are different wavelengths for specific things (i.e. red spectrum for flowering plants/fruit, green light for leafy plants, etc.?).

Can someone please give me some advice? I don't want the little guys to die. :(

(Side note: I live in Canada, where it is winter, so unfortunately I can't put them outside for another few months until it warms up.)
(Also, avo plant in picture is just a Google image, not mine, as I don't have a camera to take a good photo with.)

Thanks in advance for any advice!
