Photosynthesis is best in red light and very poor in green light. Chlorophylls absorb the red light and carotenoids absorb blue-green light, but green light is not effectively absorbed by photosynthetic pigments in plants; therefore, light of this color is either reflected by leaves or passes through the leaves. This is why plants are green. Red light is the most effective in photosynthesis because it has exactly the right amount of energy to energize, or excite chlorophyll electrons and boost them out of their orbits to a higher energy level.
Actually red light does not help plants grow faster it is blue light.
I did an experiment covering plants with: Clear cellophane, Blue cellophane, Red cellophane and green cellophane and the red was the third slowest and the blue one was the fastest.
Red light IS best for photosynthesis, which is responsible for making glucose for your plant to make energy. While Blue light is best for plant GROWTH. Green Light is just worthless except for making our plants green looking.
What else can I help you with?
What color light do plants best grow in?
Red color of light
Why do plants grow better under red light?
The photosynthesis pathway has phytochrome systems which response to red light.
Should plants grow better in the red light or the green light?
RED do not try green it will not turn out as well
How many inches green beans grow in a week with red light?
what red light does to green bean plants
A student exposed two plants to only red light and two plants to only green light. Which plant will grow best?
The plants exposed to red light will likely grow better. Red light is more essential for the process of photosynthesis, which is crucial for plant growth. Green light is reflected rather than absorbed by plants, so it may not support growth as effectively.
How can I effectively use a red grow light to enhance the growth of my plants?
To effectively use a red grow light to enhance plant growth, position the light about 6-12 inches above the plants for 12-16 hours a day. Ensure the light covers all plants evenly and adjust the height as they grow. Red light promotes flowering and fruiting, so use it during the plant's flowering stage for best results.
Do plants grow better with green artificial light red artificail light or natural sunlight?
Natural sunlight.
What light grows plants faster blue artificial light or red artificial light?
If you use blue light in the day and red light at night it should grow twice as fast but, I would use red.
How does the colour of light affect plant growth?
Plants are green because the reflect green light. They do not use green light, they use red light to make food. Some plastic mulches are red to reflect red light onto plants to make them grow more.
What colors do plants need to grow?
Red and blue light is absorbed from the Sun. Green light is reflected off the plant.
How well do plants grow under yellow light?
Plants require a full spectrum of light for optimal growth, including red and blue wavelengths. Yellow light is less effective for photosynthesis compared to red and blue light, so plants may not grow as well under predominantly yellow light. However, some plants can still survive and grow to some extent under yellow light, but they may exhibit elongation or other signs of stress due to the lack of optimal light spectrum.
Can plants grow in LED light?
Yes, plants can grow in LED light. LED lights provide the necessary spectrum of light for photosynthesis, allowing plants to grow and thrive.
