Oh, hello there. You wanna know ’bout lights for them plants, huh? Well, lemme tell ya, plants need light, just like we need food. Can’t live without it, ya know? But not just any light, mind you. Gotta be the right kind and for the right amount of time.
Now, some folks say plants need a whole lotta light, like 14 to 16 hours a day. That’s a lot, ain’t it? Like workin’ a double shift! But if you want them plants to grow big and strong, that’s what you gotta do. Especially them leafy ones, they love the light. And the ones with flowers? They need a good 12 to 16 hours too. Gotta give ’em time to rest though, like us old folks. At least 8 hours of darkness is good for ’em.
- Red and blue lights are real important. They help the plants make food and turn green. Once the plant is growin’ good, these lights are the best.
- Red, blue, and white lights are good for all kinds of plant growin’. If you ain’t sure what to get, these are a safe bet.
Some folks who grow plants inside, they give ’em light for 18 hours and let ’em rest for 6. Says it makes ’em grow faster. Like givin’ a kid extra cookies, I guess. Makes ’em grow big and strong. This way, the plants get all the energy they need to make nice leaves and strong roots.
Now, where to put the lights? Well, them plants that love light, put ’em near the windows. You know, where the sun shines in. Just like we like to sit in the sun to warm up, plants like it too.
You can buy special lights for plants, ya know? They got ’em on eBay, they say. And if you don’t like ’em, you can get your money back. Ain’t that somethin’? Makes it easy for folks like us who ain’t got much money to spare.
So, to sum it up, plants need light, lots of it. Red and blue is good, red, blue, and white is even better. Give ’em lots of light and a little bit of darkness to rest. And if you ain’t sure, just put ’em near the window. That’s what I do with my plants, and they seem to like it just fine.
So there you have it, all about lights for plants. Hope it helps ya out. Now go on and make them plants grow big and strong!
