coleus for starters. Try one each warm white and cool white T-8 if you

tube declines pretty dramatically in 6 months use or so, so you may be
better off getting some new tubes.

We love bamboo begonias . Flower most of the year and propagate easily.
Keep it in a pot as in warm areas it would like to spread.
