Do plants grow better in artificial light or under sunlight?

It depends what you mean by better. They will grow more naturally in sunlight but can be forced artificially with lights and may produce more and be grown out of season. I would say natural is better but then we have a world to feed.

Will plants grow without water?

Growing plants without sunlight is possible using "grow lights" to replace sunlight. Regular incandescent lighting is the least efficient and least effective for plant growth. Fluorescent lights and H.I.D. (High Intensity Discharge) are better but the specially made "grow lights" are the best. Most hydroponic gardens are grown inside a building, basement or warehouse using artificial light. Although this type of gardening requires more work and expense at the beginning to obtain the special lighting equipment, the benefits of an indoor garden can eventually overcome the potential downsides.


Why do plants that grow in the shade have darker green leaves than plants that grow in sunshine?

Plants rely on sunlight for photosynthesis (the process by which they make sugars i.e. food). They "trap" the sunlight with aid of a pigment - chlorophyll. This pigment is also responsible for the green colouration in the leaves. In the shade, a plant increases the size and concentration of chlorophyll in its leaves so that it is able to absorb more of the available light. It therefore appears a darker shade of green. Plants in full sunshine have more than enough sunlight for growth- hence they have smaller leaves with a reduced concentration of chlorophyll- their leaves are thus a lighter green.
