Vivarium lighting

[Icpet]

Hey guys! This may be a stupid question, but l was thinking. I am about to make a bio-active terarium for a creastie and use some plants l got in my home and already know are safe. My question is: since all the plants seem to grow and bloom very well with the light in the house, is it really mandatory to use a UV light?

I would at least use a light designed for growing plants. They're not very expensive.

I know, but l was thinking about preparing everything and adding the light in like 3 months from now

In my opinion, whatever allows the plants to grow is fine to use.
