Depends on what kind of plant. Plants with red and yellow leaves, such as maple, absorb more blue light. I use a blue LED light for my herbs growing. And my herbs are growing well.

Under which color light will plants grow fastest?

Plants grow fastest under blue light, as it is responsible for promoting vegetative growth and chlorophyll production. Blue light also enhances photosynthesis, which is essential for plant growth.


Can a plant grow up to three inches when it is grown under green light?

No, a plant cannot grow at all with a green light Plants use red blue and some yellows to produce photosynthesis Green is what is reflected so it is what you see. Plants do not use green light at all.


Why would most plants not grow very well under only green light?

Most plants will grow in white light, as it is closer to blue light. Blue light is the light emitted from the sun for the majority of the day. Green light has a very small place on the spectrum and therefore does not appear much. However, if the plant is hardy, it may grow in any light or even no light.


Do plants grow better under blue green or red light?

Plants grow best under a combination of red and blue light, as these wavelengths are most efficiently absorbed by chlorophyll for photosynthesis. Blue light helps with vegetative growth, while red light promotes flowering and fruiting. Green light is reflected by plants and is not as effective for photosynthesis.


Can any light make a plant grow?

According to what I have researched most light can make a plant grow, it just depends on the wavelength that the light is flowing. Carl Gelenye has done some work with different wave lengths of light for plants growth and found the violet works the best and blue is the worst.

Why do plants grow faster under blue light?

because blue light has a lot of energy so the plant grows faster


Does a plant grow more toward blue light and if so why?

Yes because it encourages leaves to grow.


Will the weed plant grow if you use a blue light?

what kinda blue light? a you asking like a party light, or a light with a blue film over it? no it won't. but if you use the blue spectrum of a light, then yes. the bluer the whiter.


What colored light will make a plant grow fast?

Plants appear green- this is because they absorb red and blue light- these wavelengths of light are harnessed by two 'photosystems' called 1 & 2 - there fore to make a plant grow well use a combination of red and blue light

What colors do plants need to grow?

Red and blue light is absorbed from the Sun. Green light is reflected off the plant.


How would a plant react if only exposed to red light?

The plant would never flower, it needs blue light to flower but it would grow normally....


How do red and blue grow lights affect plant growth and development?

Red and blue grow lights affect plant growth and development by providing specific wavelengths of light that are essential for photosynthesis. Red light promotes flowering and fruiting, while blue light stimulates vegetative growth and overall plant health. By using a combination of red and blue lights, plants can receive the full spectrum of light needed for optimal growth and development.


What are the optimal grow light colors for promoting plant growth?

The optimal grow light colors for promoting plant growth are blue and red lights. Blue light helps with vegetative growth, while red light is important for flowering and fruiting stages. These colors are absorbed most efficiently by plants for photosynthesis and overall growth.


How well would a plant grow in a pure yellow light?

Since yellow is only weakly absorbed by the pigments, the plant will grow slowly if at all. Violet, blue and some red light is most strongly absorb.
