Most all plants need Sunlight in order to turn Co2 and other elements into stored energy. Chlorophyll (the mostly green stuff) catches this and this is why plants are nutritious to humans too! Direct outdoor sunlight is in the range 32.000 to 100.000 Lux, 100.000 Lux at noon, at the same time approximately 10.000 Lux in shadow. Generally : no plant can survive below 800 Lux (no photosynthesis, no chemical reactions). Most plants require 5.000 Lux and more. So-called shadow plants can "survive" within 800 to 1.500 LUX.
