purplepetunia-- I just use the $12.00 48" shop lights from HD or Lowes with regular flourescent tube lights. I hang them on a chain from the ceiling about 3 o 4 inches from my plants. (Some say 2 inches but my chains aren't long enough.)

I have heard that about the cypress vine so I am planning on putting it in a bare spot in the back of the property. I hope that will keep it under control.

Here's a pic of my light set-up so far. Right now I have mostly amaryllis and a few new seeds under lights. Will add more lights this week for the vines.

Good luck. t.
