I answered this in your other thread about the "angel wings" - they are Caladiums and nothing you do will make them keep growing right now. They need to go dormant and be kept cool and barely damp for the winter. They will grow for you next spring when it's warm enough for them to go outside.
As far as the reptile basking light, it's most likely more for heat value than lighting. You need to use Daylight fluorescent lights for indoor supplemental light, or a bulb specifically labeled as a "gro-light" to get enough of the right light for plants.
