FAQ About Indoor Plant Selection for Natural Light Spectrum
How does natural light through windows differ from outdoor sunlight for plants?
Natural light filtering through windows is usually less intense than direct outdoor sunlight due to several factors, including glass reflection and diffused light through curtains or blinds. This altered intensity results in decreased light energy and a changed light spectrum that reaches the plants. Indoor plants near windows often receive less UV and IR light, which is why certain shade-tolerant species are better suited for indoor conditions.
