Light is one of the most important factors in the cultivation of interior species. Their lack is manifested by the lack of flowering, discolored, fallen leaves and general weakness, and that plants carry out photosynthesis in an appropriate manner. Also, excess light can be harmful for those individuals who have a preference for shady exposures, as their leaves turn yellow and the flowers take on shades paler. DAYLIGHT
plants grown in the house live intenor light that comes from windows and balconies. Its intensity is reduced to less than half just to pass the windowpane, and from there, it is degrading rays as they go into the room.
factors influence
light the room also features the shape and dimensions of the room. also influences the color. If the walls are white. the amount light is higher. since it is reflected, while the dark walls absorb.
estodones
The intensity of light also depends on the season. In the autumn or winter
insolation is lower but more directly, because the sun is lower, whereas in summer the rays do not come so directly, but its intensity is higher.
Other factors
The onentación of the room. the number and size of windows or balconies, the presence of nearby buildings and the region where the home is located are also factors to consider. ARTIFICIAL LIGHT
Lamps can complement the deficiency of natural light in growing plants.
• incandescent bulbs. commonly used in homes. have the disadvantage that the light is often insufficient and get very hot, so you should keep some distance from the plants.
• Fluorescent tubes provide less heat, but the lighting is more intense. • Calls lamps
mixed (combining the light from fluorescent tubes and light bulbs usual) are the most recommended. because its light is similar to solar.
• mercury lamps, whose light is whiter than the sun, are suitable for greenhouses.
Light requirements
The choice of species depends on the type of light you get the room, in this sense, the orientation of the stay will be decisive. Normally, indoor plants can not tolerate direct sun, so it is not convenient to place them behind the windows, unless
filtered light to penetrate through a blind or curtain. For rooms facing south will be selected plants with higher light requirements. In the north, giving the species will have to tolerate less light intensity, but in this case can be placed near the window
to be less intense light. Anyway, to cultivate intenor species, the best exhibitions are east and west. The amount of light also influences the temperature and humidity, so, more light will have a higher temperature and lower humidity. The criterion for the choice of plants will depend on the type of home lighting. Full sun
interior
Some species tolerate direct sun in a southern exposure, winter need five or six hours of sun daily. Some examples are:
• species that also occur in extenores: Agapanthus, Abutilon, callistemo.
• succulent plants: Euphorbia, epifilum, Rebutia.
• Flowering plants buvardia, beloperone, bird paradise.
• decorative plants by their leaves: sansevieria, Iresine. saxifrage. Much light
This group includes species that require two to five hours of sun during the winter.
- decorative plants for their flowers, flowering begonias, Medinilla, gardenia, singonio. Ornamental species by their leaves: aglaonema, croton, coleus, bromeliads, diefembaquia. Media
light plants do not need a high light must be placed in rooms Onentas east or west, near the light but not to give them the direct rays of the sun.
- cyclamen flower plants, azalea, violet afneana, hoya.
- decorative species by their leaves, ficus, pothos, arrowroot, Galatea, philodendron. Low Light
Some species, but would develop better in most lighting conditions, they tolerate low light levels
- Flowering plants have higher light requirements, but species like Antunes, Clivia, the peace lily and some orchids can be placed in windows Onentas north.
- ornamental plants for their leaves such as begonia, aspidistra aralia and preferred ambient temperatures. Also some ferns (maidenhair fern, bird's nest, Elkhorn) and other plants such as asparagus and sansevieria allowed little light, but need a higher temperature.
- Palm: the one that best fits the chamaedorea.
