Lighting
Indoor Plants |
This is a great page on plant
light requirements and artificial lighting. Technically this sheet is on
lighting house plants but many of the basic concepts apply to greenhouse
plants. Just keep in mind that any low light plant should get plenty of light
(possibly too much depending on your location and time of year) in a greenhouse
and fluorescent and incandescent lights are not good lighting choices for a
greenhouse. |
