Rare Houseplants

Best lighting for tropical plants like Monstera Obliqua?


I just received a couple of pretty rare and pretty expensive plants as gifts – the label said Monstera Obliqua, so I tend to believe that's what they are. So, I'm happy to have found this sub because I have no experience with this type of gardening, and I'm really panicking about not letting them die!

Anyway, what I've read (at https://www.petalrepublic.com/, at least) is that these kinds of plants need the right lighting to grow and even survive for longer – but which one is the best for inside the house? I could get LED lights because they don't use a lot of energy and don't get too hot, or maybe fluorescent lights because they mimic natural light better. And then, of course, there's natural sunlight, but that can be hard to control.

So, if anyone has experience with them – what works best for tropical plants like these and why? I'd really appreciate your help.
