In order for the plant to develop properly, it needs to provide timely watering and plenty of light. A short daylight hours negatively affects rooting, growth, and flowering. The result can be a disease of green spaces.
Specialists who grow flowers, horticultural crops, use themselves and recommend to beginners the use of lamps to illuminate plants. They are produced on the basis of light emitting diodes. Products provide representatives of the flora with light of a certain spectrum, which leads to growth stimulation. At the same time, the greens are not dried, not burned. You can use lamps on window sills, in greenhouses, conservatories, winter gardens, grow rooms, aquariums.
Excess light also negatively affects flowers and seedlings. They become flabby, their leaves turn yellow. To prevent the plants from dying, it is necessary to reduce the light flux directed at them as soon as possible.
Flowers need balanced artificial lighting, which LED plant grow lights can provide. It is LEDs that can give greens vital energy that starts the process of photosynthesis in them.
What are the advantages of using a phytolamp for seedlings
LED phyto-lighting has a number of advantages. Most often, manufacturers and users name the following:
Long period of operation. A high-quality diode lamp, which is operated for 16 hours a day, is able to work for about 11 years.
Economy. If in summer the lamps for growing plants work for about eight hours a day, then in winter this time increases to 14. But thanks to the economical use of electricity, you will not have to overpay for light.
Environmental friendliness. The design does not include mercury, as well as other chemicals that can harm plants and humans.
Fire safety. Low operating temperatures do not heat structures. If you touch them with your hand, you can do without a burn.
The correct concentration of radiation. If we draw a parallel with classic lamps, the light from the diodes does not diverge throughout the room, the greenhouse, but acts purposefully on the plants. Thus, in the room, the temperature indicators do not change, and the seedlings receive the necessary amount of light.
Ease of use. Full spectrum plant lamps are quick and easy to install. For their installation, special knowledge and equipment are not required.
Construction types
Each model of the ice light source for plants has its own design and power. They differ from each other in terms of spectrum and conditions of use.
In Ukraine, you can buy products of different types, each of which has certain tasks:
- Phytolamps are an ideal option for growing various crops indoors throughout the year. They are bicolor (used for additional illumination of seedlings), multispectrum (an option for indoor lighting of adult plants), full spectrum (can be used at all stages of green life, including seed germination).
- For indoor flowers, phytolamps are considered an excellent solution. Strengthened growth, development of the root system, strengthening of the stems is facilitated by the action of red and blue flowers. Thanks to the lamps, the plants will look strong and beautiful throughout the year.
- For large greenhouses, it is worth buying phytoprojectors. Their peculiarity is that they can illuminate a large area. That is, several bushes will be provided with enough light at once, which will accelerate their development.
- If flowers are grown on a balcony, loggia, window sill, you can purchase phyto tape. On the product, diodes emitting light with a red and blue spectrum are alternately located. On sale you can also find designs that give a white glow.
