Best Answer

I've have several house plants under a floor lamp on a timer for many years now. They do quite well compared to a couple I put in my hallway WITHOUT any lamp on them. The little daylight the hallway gets doesn't suffice and eventually any plant I've put there has died. But the plants under the timed floor lamp are too many years old for me to remember. I even have a cactus that is at least 10 years old under the lamp. I use to put it outside in the summer time but it's so tall I'm afraid to move it for fear of breaking it. I've also found that my plants seem healthier since I starting keeping them inside under the lamp rather than moving them outside for the summer.

What will happen if a plant is kept in sunlight and a plant is kept under lamp?

The plant which is kept in sun will grow normally whereas the plant which is kept in lamp will grow for for a certain period of time and the its growth will be re tarted and then the plant will eventually die. The reason behind is that the light of sun activate the photo system or the flow of electron by providing sufficient energy.but the lamp light will not have a sufficient energy to facilitate the flow of electron which is necessary for the chlorophyll pigment to perform photosynthesis
