Sunlight is the perfect balance of wavelengths necessary for plant growth and blooming, but you can also use artificial light to help your plants along. In fact, low-light foliage plants (such as pothos and peace lily) can grow quite nicely in windowless offices with enough artificial light.
In this regard, what kind of artificial light is best for plants?
Fluorescent tubes provide one of the best artificial light sources available for plants in the home. They are about 2-1/2 times more efficient in converting electrical energy into light energy than are incandescent sources, making them less expensive to operate.
You can use any LED bulb to grow plants if they are emitting enough light. Plants often also look for warmth to come from the light source and we know LED bulbs do not provide much of that.
People also ask, is artificial UV light good for plants?
Yes, UV has benefits for plant growth, but it can still cause damage to plants and humans if not used properly. … Exposing plants to that much UV can quickly kill them. Growers should provide their plants with a full quality spectrum which emits the right amount of UV.
