Plants use red and blue light and reflect green which is why they appear green to us. A black light contains little red and blue light. Bad idea it will stunt growth. Try a natural sunlight lamp. Careful it will bleach paint and carpet. Just like sunlight. Check surrounding nurseries and your Sam's club, if you have one. I got one at Sam's for my plants for twenty dollars I believe. also check eBay. I am raising butterflies and plants indoors over winter, so if you would like to bounce ideas please let me know. You can IM me at Please follow this link. This is the lamp I purchased. If you do not personally hold a memebership, maybe a friend does and you can pay them back. Seems to be a good lamp and good luck with the herbs. No they will not grow with a black light. Plants use red and blue light and reflect green which is why they appear green to us.
