light spectrum for plants

Lucius is around to teach you about light and the role it plays in plant-growth. Plants are like little green factories that require sunlight to live and produce food. Plants cannot make their food without light, a process known as photosynthesis. This is a very vital process allowing plants to absorb sunlight and transform it into energy. But not all light is created equal. Light consists of lots of colours, and each colour exists at a different length called a wavelength. To human eyes, the colors we can see are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, and indigo. But for plants, there are many colors that are key for their growth and well-being.

A Guide to the Light Spectrum

Plants require four primary colors of light for strong growth: red, blue, green, and far-red. All of these colors assist plants in a variety of ways. Red light is the light with the longest wavelength (and, therefore, lowest energy), and it gets through the atmosphere well and therefore is very useful for growing and flowering plants. Blue light has a short wavelength; it is an important part that creates strong roots. This is important because strong roots allow plants to soak up water and nutrients from the soil. Green light is somewhat different, in that plants do not use it much. Instead, they reflect it, which is why many plants appear green! But smallish role is a role, which is why green light still matters in the context of photosynthesis. The far-red light, the shortest wavelengths, allows plants to respond to light in their environment.
