How, when and how much to illuminate seedlings and whether it is necessary at all

If you have ever grown seedlings at home on the eve of the new garden season, you already know that in our latitudes, without additional illumination in January-February-March, young sprouts have a very difficult time. Moreover, for this illumination, they need, they say, special lamps – a grandmother’s night light with a lampshade is not good here.

Let’s look together at the light needs of different garden crops at the seedling stage and about what kind of light, when and in what quantities growing plants need.

Why do seedlings need additional light on the windowsill

Illumination of seedlings with a phytolamp is an invention for our latitudes. Of course, no one needs such an additional gadget near the equator – and all because it is above the 40-50th parallel that there is already a very short daylight hours during the period of winter and early spring (you can’t deceive nature), when zealous summer residents with might and main massively germinate seeds and grow seedlings, so that with the onset of the first warm days, it is already safe to plant grown and strengthened plants in greenhouses and greenhouses to obtain a friendly early harvest.

A plant needs light, as everyone should remember from a school botany course, first of all, for the normal implementation of the complex process of photosynthesis – the conversion of light energy into chemical energy (read – for the normal implementation of all life processes of a plant). Little light – little energy for growth and life.

Anyone who has ever encountered growing plants at least once in their life understands that 7-8 hours of daylight is catastrophically short for a growing plant organism. Without a sufficient amount of light, the stems turn pale, stretch and bend in search of life-giving illumination, and as a result, they bend under their own weight and wither, they cannot develop either the underground root or the above-ground part to a sufficient extent.

How much light do seedlings need per day? Depending on the type of crop – 11-17 hours of full-fledged lighting (morning illumination + daytime natural light + evening illumination). But it is important to remember that plants also have their own “spenders” and “economies” – the same tomatoes will be very grateful to you for 15-17 hours of daylight hours, but they are not so sensitive to the power of this lighting, and peppers and eggplants can, if necessary, manage and 11 o’clock, but they will “ask” for a greater intensity of this light.

Of course, you should also be guided by the weather outside the window. If it is so cloudy and dark on the street during the day that you turn on the light in the room without fail even during the daytime, then, probably, additional lighting will not interfere with your plants during these hours.

And no, a street lamp burning all night long outside your window will not improve the situation either – it will only disorientate the young plant, which will have to put up with the dim lighting of the winter sun during the day and bright artificial light at night between periods of dark twilight. Round-the-clock illumination is contraindicated for plants, they need alternating dark and light photoperiods!

There is only one way out – to purchase additional lamps for competent supplementary lighting of seedlings. But here comes the difficult question of their choice.

What are and how to choose phytolamps for seedlings

If you look closely at the windows of urban high-rise buildings at dusk, you will notice that in February-March many of them glow not with the usual yellow or blue light, but with a mysterious pink-violet. It is this range of lamps for growing seedlings that most gardeners prefer. Do they do it mostly out of habit or does this choice really make sense?

It is not an idle question – one would like to take care of the well-being of valuable seedlings as best as possible. White, orange-yellow, purple, bicolor – what kind of phytolamps do exist and how to choose the best ones for seedlings?

Incandescent, LED, fluorescent, sodium, gas discharge, induction, halogen lamps – for a person unfamiliar with the basics of physics, only a list of all possible types of lamps can cause a headache. But you still need to take into account their cost, durability, degree of heating, energy consumption, environmental friendliness, ease of use …

According to the main parameters for plants, the lamps can differ:

  • the amount of light emitted,
  • quality (spectral composition) of light.

We visually perceive the first parameter as the brightness of the lighting, and the second – as its color. What should they be in terms of growing seedlings?

As for the amount of light, this is a very important factor for seedlings. There is a general rule – up to a certain limit, the more light, the better the plants. In numerical terms, this means the optimal level of illumination for most crops is 5000-7000 lux.

Today, LED lamps are ahead of all other lamp options in this parameter, followed by fluorescent lamps (a kind of conventional incandescent lamp), and then halogen lamps.

Do not forget that many incandescent lamps often get very hot during operation, which can seriously damage young plants! The larger and more powerful the heating light source, the farther it should be from the seedling container.

As for the question of the “quality” of the emitted light, for a start it is worth understanding that for normal “functioning” the plant needs different frequencies of the spectrum, and not just one – visible light, and infrared, and ultraviolet. And in a certain balance. So ultraviolet radiation has a bactericidal effect and increases the cold resistance of plants, infrared radiation stimulates the growth of the aerial part of seedlings, orange illumination contributes to the rapid ripening of fruits, red and blue-violet waves take the most active part in photosynthesis, but the yellow and green colors of the spectrum are reflected by plants and practically do not affect their growth. On the other hand, it is impossible to “overdo it” even with the number of useful waves – the same excess of red-orange radiation can, for example, delay flowering.

Alas, a lamp that would ideally reproduce sunlight has not yet been invented. The same sodium lamps emit mainly in the red-orange part of the spectrum, more yellow in incandescent lamps, halogen and fluorescent lamps are closer to warm white, most LEDs are closer to cold blue, and infrared lamps generally work in the invisible part of the spectrum. Therefore, in order to “please” plants, one has to look for multispectral lamps that produce radiation in several colors at once.

The choice, as they say, is yours. We wrote a lot and in detail about the comparative characteristics of seedling lamps, which are most often used in our apartments. Some of them are a little more economical, others are a little more durable, in the third a non-functional part of the spectrum is “excluded”, the fourth ones heat up a little less, the fifth ones do not irritate the human eye so much … calculations, it can be summarized that today, in the totality of all these parameters, LED lamps are leading, powerful, economical, where a strictly calculated combination of red, white and blue “rays” is used. Their main drawback is their high cost.

However, when using any specialized lamps, it is necessary to talk about a real significant benefit only if we are talking about the mass cultivation of seedlings on an industrial scale. You are unlikely to feel this economic difference within the same room or greenhouse, believe me – a phytolamp bought at exorbitant prices, fashionable right now, will definitely not triple the yield of green mass or speed up its maturation by a factor of three.

In the simplest case, most seedlings will need an ordinary powerful, but not very hot white light lamp (we exclude, perhaps, only old incandescent lamps). Much more important is the level of illumination and its duration. Think for yourself – for hundreds of thousands of years, plants on Earth have been perfectly content with sunlight with a “mixture” of all spectral colors and feel great, so there is no urgent need to torment your home with just “phyto-specialized” annoyingly fantastic purple flashes all the dark time of the day.

The same applies to additional “nishtyaks”, which are provided in abundance by enterprising sellers in the kit for the “correct” phytolamp. These are reflectors of various designs, shapes and sizes for the formation of an optimal beam of light, and different-sized articulated stands, and suspensions, and clip-on cartridges, and suction cup holders, and sockets with a timer, and even synchronization systems with automatic watering . ..

What can I say? If you have enough free funds and a lot of space in the room, and you don’t like or don’t know how to make unnecessary gestures, you can purchase at least the entire range of additional devices, so that later you can enthusiastically arrange and rearrange them all around the apartment for your pleasure. For the owners of ingenuity and straight arms, foil, a strong cord, a couple of small boards and the most common tools are usually enough. The choice, as always, is yours.

Of course, the health of seedlings is not determined by the quantity and quality of light alone. When growing young plants at home, other factors are also of great importance – timely nutrition and watering, air humidity, ambient temperature, indoor air exchange … And, having bought the most expensive and fashionable lamp for seedlings, but neglecting the rest of the conditions for its cultivation, nothing good comes out you will not get – it is important to understand this.

1. Aloe vera

Daria Shevtsova / Pexels

Aloe vera is known as a medicinal plant. The gel-like juice from its leaves is used to heal wounds and sunburn. If you are going to test it for yourself, take only the lower leaves: they are more mature and fleshy. And do not cut off more than a third, otherwise the sheet may not recover.

How to care

Light . Aloe vera comes from Africa, so dry warm air and bright light are not afraid of him. This houseplant can be kept on the windowsill even in summer.

Water . Aloe rarely needs to be watered: once a week in summer, once every two to three weeks in autumn and winter. Make sure that water does not get on the core of the plant – the leaf rosette, otherwise the aloe will rot.

Transplant . Change the aloe pot only if necessary, but not more than once every couple of years.

What else you need to know . For the winter, with a lack of natural light, it is recommended to rearrange the flower in a dark corner with a temperature not higher than 14 degrees. The plant will hibernate: its growth and metabolic processes will slow down. If you can’t find such a place, don’t let the aloe “fall asleep”: make up for the lack of sunlight with a lamp.

2. Ficus elastica

f2.8 / Shutterstock

Unlike its relative Ficus Benjamin, Ficus elastica is very easy to care for. True, you won’t get flowers from him: for this he needs certain conditions, which are almost impossible to achieve in an apartment and even in a greenhouse in the country. But he is very good even without flowers.

How to care

Light . Ficus grows better in good light, so try to place it next to a window. But not on the windowsill: direct sunlight can injure the leaves. You can also put the ficus in the shade, but then the bottom row of leaves can fly around.

Water . Ficus is recommended to be watered when the topsoil is completely dry. In summer and spring, this should be done a maximum of twice a week, and in autumn and winter, one is enough. It is impossible to fill the ficus with water, otherwise it will get sick and the leaves will fall off. In the warm season, you can spray ficus leaves from a spray bottle.

Transfer . While the ficus is young, it needs to be transplanted every year. And an adult bush – as needed. You can understand that the ficus has become cramped by the amount of water in the pan: if after watering it is too much, it’s time to replant.

What else you need to know . In nature, ficus grows to a height of up to 30 meters. In an apartment, he is not capable of such feats, but he may well become a meter-long tree. Trim off the tops to keep it decorative. It is necessary to carry out the procedure in the spring.

3. Echinocactus, Echinopsis, Cleistocactus and other cacti

These small, thorn-covered plants are inexpensive, unusual looking and generally undemanding. Even if you completely forget about them for a couple of weeks, nothing will happen to them.

septima / Shutterstock

How to care

Light . In nature, cacti grow in warm sunny places, so you need to find an appropriate corner for a houseplant. It can be a cabinet, a shelf, a table on which the sun falls, or even a window sill. They are not afraid of direct rays. In winter, it is better to provide cacti with additional lighting

Water . Water the cactus only when the soil is completely dry. In summer – once a month, and in winter, if the house is not too hot, even less often – once every two or three months. Watering too often or abundantly is impossible: the roots may rot.

Transplant . A cactus that is no more than four years old – once a year. Then less often. The main thing – do not forget to protect your hands from needles!

What else you need to know . Choose a cactus pot with drainage holes only. It is better to take an unglazed ceramic container: moisture evaporates well from it, and heat is retained inside.

4. Schlumbergera, or Zygocactus

Dyfrain / Shutterstock

This is also a cactus, but it is very different from the rest both in appearance (it has no thorns at all) and in the rules of care. This plant is also called Decembrist and Christmas cactus, because it is covered with red or pink flowers in winter – in December or January.

How to care

Light . Unlike other cacti, Schlumbergera is very susceptible to direct sunlight, so it cannot be placed on a windowsill or balcony. But if the place is slightly shaded – it’s not scary.

Water . Schlumbergera should be watered regularly: once or twice a week. Additionally, you can moisten the plant with a spray bottle.

Transplant . First once a year, and then every three or four years. The flower needs an annual transplant – better at the end of February, after the end of flowering.

What else you need to know . To prevent the Schlumbergera from growing excessively, shoots can be removed at the beginning of summer, but without using scissors: it is enough to unscrew the excess with your fingers. After this procedure, the shape of the plant will improve and it will bloom even more abundantly.

5. Spathiphyllum

armifello / Shutterstock

Spathiphyllum blooms in spring or summer. Its flowers are a bit like callas, but it requires much less attention.

How to care

Light or shade . Spathiphyllum loves light, but not direct sunlight. So window sills and a balcony are prohibited, but the space next to the windows can be safely used. If you do not want to see how it blooms, you can put the spathiphyllum in the shade: it will not get sick and will not die, just the leaves will turn dark green, and the buds will not appear.

Water . In the warm season, spathiphyllum should be watered abundantly, but only once every two to three days. In cold weather – less often. If dark spots appear on the foliage, then you overdo it with watering. It is advisable to periodically spray the spathiphyllum with water from a spray bottle.

Transplant . It is enough to do it once every two or three years, but you should always choose a larger pot so that the overgrown roots are comfortable.

What else you need to know . Do not leave the spathiphyllum in a room with a temperature below 10 degrees and do not make a draft: the plant will “catch a cold” and rot.

6. Aspidistra

Alex maschtakov / Shutterstock

Unlike spathiphyllum, aspidistra almost never blooms: if you’re lucky, in summer it will give one flower for one day. Aspidistra leaves are thin and long. Do not be alarmed if they have spots or stripes: these are not signs of illness, but a variant of the norm. Another important detail is that the aspidistra has many roots, so it needs a large pot.

How to care

Light . Aspidistra feels great even in the shade, so it can be placed in the far corner. But it is better to hide it from direct sunlight.

Water . Aspidistra can be watered only when the topsoil is dry. Two or three times a week in the warm season, once a week in the cold.

Transplant . Preferably no more than once every three years. The thing is that she has a fragile root system, which can easily be damaged in the process of “emigration” from the pot.

What else you need to know . Get rid of withered, yellowed leaves: this will not only help keep the plant looking neat, but also make the aspidistra healthier. Cut them off at the root.

7. Sander’s Dracaena

New Africa / Shutterstock

Sander’s Dracaena has a thin curved trunk with constrictions. For this, it is called the “bamboo of happiness. ” But dracaena has nothing to do with this tropical plant.

How to care

Light . Dracaena Sandera loves the light, but grows well in the shade. But it is better to keep this plant away from direct sunlight.

Water . You need to water as the soil dries out: about once or twice a week. Dracaena leaves should be periodically wiped with a damp cloth or cotton pad.

Transfer . Once a year, regardless of age.

What else you need to know . The lower leaves may turn yellow. If this process is slow – this is normal, if they change color dramatically – the plant needs top dressing. Dracaena leaves may begin to curl: this means that the room temperature is low for it.

8. Crassula

Totokzww / Shutterstock

You may know this succulent called the money tree. Crassula can be small all her life or grow into a small tree with a dense stem – it all depends on living conditions.

How to care

Light . Crassula is not afraid of direct sunlight, so it can stand on the windowsills. The shadow will not destroy it either, but it will greatly affect the appearance: some of the leaves will fall off, and the stems will stretch.

Water . Crassula is recommended to be watered once a week. But if you suddenly accidentally forget – it’s not scary: she can live even a month without watering. A very handy houseplant for those who like to travel.

Transplant . Crassula can be transplanted no more than once every few years. And if you want the plant to always be miniature, do not transplant it at all, instead change the topsoil once a year.

What else you need to know . Crassula is not recommended to be kept in rooms with temperatures below 10 degrees. Rinse the leaves to keep them glossy and healthy.

9. Bromeliad

Meteoritka / Shutterstock

Bromeliad looks like the top of a pineapple. And for good reason. These plants are relatives: they both belong to the bromeliad family. When the bromeliad blooms, its top becomes rich red or bright yellow.

How to care

Light or shade . Bromeliads need diffused light: from a window or from a lamp. Direct rays can burn it. But it’s not worth keeping it in the shade all the time, otherwise it will wither away.

Water . In warm weather, bromeliads need to be watered often: in the heat, you can do this every day. But in winter, once a week is enough. Water can be poured into the soil or into a funnel formed by leaves. Periodically moisten the air next to the flower with a spray bottle.

Transfer . Once every two or three years in a larger pot.

What else you need to know . When the bromeliad has finished flowering, wait until the arrow of the flower dries up and cut it off. So the plant can bloom again. Frequently ventilate the room in which the bromeliad is located, but do not make a draft.

10. Clivia

PQK / Shutterstock

A young clivia pleases the eye with a beautiful orange or yellow cap of flowers once a year, and an older plant twice as often.

How to care

Light or shade . Keep the clivia out of direct sunlight, but not in full shade.

Water . When the clivia blooms, it needs to be watered often – several times a week – with warm water. It is important to ensure that water does not accumulate in the pan. And during the dormant period, the plant can not be watered at all.

Transplant . It is not necessary to transplant the clivia: this can disturb the plant and affect its health.

What else you need to know . From November to February, clivia need to provide a dormant period: put it in a colder place and stop watering. Periodically check its condition: if the clivia has begun to shed its leaves, it does not have enough water, water it, but just a little.

11. Echeveria

Pxhere

This succulent native to America is called the “stone rose” because its large fleshy leaves grow in the shape of this flower. Echeveria can be green, reddish, lilac.

How to care

Light or shade . Echeveria is not afraid of direct light and dry air. In the shade, she will also survive, but will stretch upwards: she will have a trunk and lose her decorative appearance.

Water . In summer, you can water once a week, in autumn and spring once a month, and in winter, in general, once a month and a half. If you water Echeveria too often, its roots can rot.

Transplant . While young – once a year, then once every few years.

What else you need to know . In winter, echeveria can be rearranged in a room where the temperature does not rise above 10 degrees. If this does not work, make sure that the plant receives enough light, otherwise it may stretch.
