Hello, i just got my first desert rose, and i wanted it to be a indoor plant not realizing te amont of sun light they like. So i was curious if they could survive under a grow light, if so any recommendations? Thank you!!!!

Yes -
if you are willing to invest in a lighting system that delivers at least 6500k for at least 12 hours a day + a fan system that keeps the air moving - and a watering system that will deliver water + fertilizer (or close enough to a sink)

even with all that - the plants may never reach potential .... may get flowers ...perhaps a lot of them - but indoors the flowers will never pollinate to produce seed pods - unless done by hand

think desert plant ....

7 hours a day outside under full sun, depending on outside temperature of around 80°= watered once every 7 days - given that the plant will be happy
