Indoor plants - artificial light only
We have a nice little plant in the corridor in our office. No idea what
it is - sort of a miniature tree, looks to have citrus-like leaves. It has just been moved to the corridor: it will only ever get artificial light, 10 hours a day, five days a week, where it is. (It's not my plant by the way.) Is it going to perish? Or will artificial light suffice for some plants? John |

Or will artificial light suffice for some plants? John As I understand it, fluorescent tubes (which you are likely to have in your office) have a pretty good spectrum of light frequencies. If so, I should think your plant will be OK. But, if it is getting a constant 10 hours light per day, every day of the year, then any photoperiodic response in the plant will probably not be triggered. It depends on the particular plant, of course, but this could include flowering and subsequent fruit production, etc. Regards Neil |
