hello i was wondering if this would grow plants in a viv Exo-Terra Repti Glo Compact (26 Watt) 5.0 - Spiral Compact Florescent | Josh's Frogs
thank you xD

It would... However UVB is not necessary for plant growth and you could just as easily use a 6500K (cheap) "Day" bulb.
The color spectrum is what's important - not the amount of UVB. Those 19-26W CFLs are usually $3-6 each, and would work just as well.

Yes, although you don't really need the UV component. I've used similar lights with good results in the past.
