Hi ![[wayey]](im/graemlins/wavey.gif)
I have a couple of Jade plants living indoors under lights. I use the reptile light fixtures with full spectrum grow bulbs in them & they are doing great.

when i worked in an office without windows, i had mine hanging about 6-10 inches under my flourescent desk light (it was one of those under cabinet ones). grew fine for 6 years that way.

Given a choice between a north windowsill and under a fluorescent or grow light, your Jade would prefer the windowsill. Better yet, try the north window supplemented with a standard fluorescent light.

hi all...and thanks for all your replies. sorry for the late reply.
i tried the fluorescent light suggestion mostly cause i had the "tools" in-house. the plant seems to respond to it and the number of leaves falling has dramatically reduced. i can't keep it at the windowsill since its in the kitchen and the stoves are very near the window. but i do give them the morning sun for a few hours that i receive it. i'll see how that turns out in a few days. thanks again to all![[Smile]](im/smile.gif)

I use a desk lamp, and a black light. Seems to work okay ^.^ desk lamp is nice and hot, so it keeps the plant warm in the cold atmosphere of the room. the area under the lamp and blacklight is around 75-80 degrees F, and outside the light is around 65-75ish. I donno. Seems to be working well here ^.^
