How additional lightning will help your house plants

House Plants & Lightning


Lighting for house plants. It is an important thing to consider when starting your inside garden, how much light does the plant need? This is important because most houses wouldn't have enough light to handle a plant that needs a lot of light. So, the lighting in your house becomes essential even before you start your inside garden or bringing any plant into your house, because the amount of light
in your house will determine what types of plants would grow there. So make sure to consider this before bringing any plant into your house. If you won't use artificial lights, then you should select plants that require medium to low light. Here are a few other tips regarding lighting in the house:

Because your plants will turn to the light, you should rotate the plants, this will promote an upright growth. There are a few ways you can tell if your plant is getting enough light or not. If they aren't getting enough light, they usually will have small leaves, thin stems, and the color of the plants will be lighter than usual. Artificial lighting, with a fluorescent lamp, etc, can be used to supplement a house with limited natural lighting. Condition your plants when you buy them.
You have to do this because the place where you buy the plant will usually have more lighting than your home and the plant can go into a shock of sorts and lose it's foliage.
