    Can plants still grow without LEDs?

    I have a Java fern in a tank with a light "bar" at the top! The lights aren't LEDs so I was wondering if the plant would still be fine? I also have a blue led light with about 14 LEDs on it! Would the plant still grow or would I need a new big led light? Thanks
