∙ 15y agoUltraviolet light will damage, and potentially kill plants. The light waves within the visible spectrum are the best, so while sunlight isn't perfect (due to the UV rays), it's probably the best thing short of a lamp (especially since it won't cost you anything). There are some UV resistant plants, but after doing some of my own research online, they seem to be few and far between.

Can you tan using hot water?
No. Heat from the sun is not what causes tan it is the ultraviolet rays similar to the rays that cause skin cancer. The reason heat is asoociated with them is that usually when the sun is bright enough that the UV rays are causing a tan infrared rays are also causing you to feel hot. This is why a bright sun on a cool day is very dangerous. The UV rays are still reaching the skin but as they are undetectable and there is no heat warning the skin that the sun is bright you are more likely to allow yourself to stay in the sun too long and burn.No.
Can windows with UV protection kill plants?
Not in my opinion, although I have not tried the experiment for myself!Plants use the energy from light to photosynthesize, and I do not believe the levels of radiation (UV) would affect this.However, if a window garden is what you're after, it might be wise to play it safe and not use the window with UV protection anyway.
Why do some plants have thick waxy coating?
That way the water doesn't get absorbed through the leaves first off and also to block some harmful UV rays
If you block UV rays will your plants grow?
Your plants should still grow if UV rays are blocked.?æ Greenhouse panels are designed to block UV blocking filters, and they grow plants well.
How uv rays affect vegetables?
UV rays affect vegetables. They alter their chemical composition.
Do plants need uv light to grow?
UV light helps plants grow healthier and quicker. It is not required though for most plants to grow and survive.
How are plants affected by different amounts of uv radiation?
Plants are affected by UV rays. Some of them die in their presence.
Where do plants get the energy they need?
From the Sun's UV rays (which practically means "sunlight").
What UV rays do you need to start protecting your self from?
