Plants need to undergo photosynthesis so that they can grow. Even moss that is extremely shade-tolerant must be brightly lit to survive. Various shade-tolerant plants commonly available on the market must maintain proper light to survive. A completely dark environment. If the environment is too dark, should we use plant lights?
It should be known that the spectrum of most plant lights today is not accurate and the lumens are not enough, that is to say, the intensity of light is not enough, and the demand for plant growth is not enough.
So now the fill light or plant light we usually use can only be used as a temporary supplement to keep plants alive, and cannot replace sunlight.
Common indoor plants can grow well under plant lights for a short period of time, and generally can maintain a good state in about two or three months. For example, if there is no sunlight in winter, or in rainy weather, plant lights can be used appropriately.
If there is not much sunlight in the home, or even scattered light, only light is irradiated, then it is recommended not to grow flowering plants, not to mention succulents.
Some common plant supplementary lights are red light or blue-violet light. They are a bit like scattered light and have a little effect on the growth of plants, but they should be placed very close to plants, usually at 30 ~50 cm.
For flowers such as succulents or rose flowers that particularly like sunlight, they cannot grow well under plant lights, which will cause the plants to grow excessively.
If you want plants to grow better, you need some plant lights with higher wattage, but those plant lights will consume more electricity, so the cost of plant maintenance is particularly high, and it feels a little more than worth the loss.
