Huge commercial nurseries around the world use artificial lighting, Abby. Plants don't care where they get their light from.........LOL I used T-5 HO fluorescent fixtures in my three greenhouses for years. Practically all my tropical plants had to come inside in the fall, so that's when I would use those lights. Even though these were greenhouses, not a home, and had at least some natural light (I used 50% shade cloth), the supplemental light encouraged growth and blooming.
