Is your plant getting enough sunlight?
- leggy/stretched out stems (they are reaching for the light)
- yellow leaves.
- spindly leaves or stems.
- brown edges or tips on leaves.
- leaves dry up, droop and/or fade.
- stunted, or slowed growth.
- small, thin leaves.
Similarly, you may ask, how do you know if your plant is not getting enough sun?
Common signs include stretched or leggy growth, abnormally small leaves, pale green or yellow leaves, and slowed or stopped growth. Flowering plants may flower only sparsely or not at all, and plants with variegated leaves may turn completely green in color.
Also, how do I know if my plants are getting too much light? The most obvious indicator is leaf burning. This typically causes yellow leaves at the top of the plant directly under the grow lights. While the inside veins stay green, the leaves take on a yellow, burnt look.
Similarly one may ask, does my plant need more sun?
Too Much Sunlight Day length is important for flowering plants. Long-day plants need at least 14 hours of sunlight daily to flower; short-day plants need less than 14 hours. It is important to know a plant’s sun requirements before planting.
How do I get more light to my plants?
You can take advantage of reflected light indoors as well. While dark surfaces reduce the intensity of available sunlight, light surfaces increase the intensity by reflecting light back to the plant. Place the plant near a light-colored wall, or locate a mirror where it reflects light to the plant.
