Does anyone have info on using a mirror to help plants grow in a dark area.

Will a normal mirror do, will shiny stainless steel do, or does one need a
special type of mirror to reflect the rays that plants need?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

you need a mirror that reflects light in the 15-35 angstom spectrum. these
can usually be obtained at a pharmacy or medical supply store, as they are
the same type of mirrors that dentists and doctors use to observe into our
body cavities.

A bright white surface will actually reflect more light than a conventional
mirror.

mirrors are also good for killing weeds as they will wilt and die when they
see their reflection ;-) lol!
