Little Light

Little Light

You can grow luxuriant house plants in any spot in your home with the aid of man-made sunshine electric light. Corners so dark that they'd discourage even a cast-iron plant are turned into garden spots by using the right amount of artificial light.

Most house plants get too little light in winter months, not only because of the low light intensity characteristic of that period of the year, but also because of the shortness of daylight hours. To remedy this, the perfect winter situation for most house plants is in daylight by day, with a boost from artificial light during both daytime and part of the hours after dark.

There are many plants that can thrive for varying periods of time on nothing but artificial light, in amounts an average gardener can supply at moderate cost. African violets, begonias, and gloxinias are examples of the blooming varieties that perform well without ever catching a glimpse of the sun.

Where To Locate A Light Setup

Enthusiasts for gardening under artificial light have placed their setups all over the house from living rooms to basements, even in closets! If you intend to grow large numbers of plants and to experiment with propagation from seeds and cuttings, the basement is best. It offers ample space and a lower temperature than the rooms in which you live-probably 55 to 65 degrees, which is better for most house plants. When the plants are in bloom, transfer them to the rooms you occupy.

You can start on as small a scale as you wish one plant under a table lamp. If you use an incandescent bulb, it should be of at least 75-watt size and placed no more than four feet above the foliage, but no closer than two feet. Fluorescent tubes, because they burn cooler, can be placed as close as 6 to 8 inches from plants.

There are many possible variations that work well and are decorative, too. Try a light cart such as the one pictured in the upper left-hand corner of the facing page, or an attractive tabletop unit like the one below it. If a handyman is willing to design and build them to fit a special space in your home, you can have handsome wall units like those pictured on the following pages.

You may use either incandescent or fluorescent lights for this kind of gardening, but experiments have shown that a combination of fluorescent and incandescent light is better than either used alone. Generally, it is beneficial to supplement with some incandescent light, particularly when a 'daylight' fluorescent tube is used.

Research studies indicate that a plant will live and stay attractive for at least a year if it is lighted for 16 hours daily with the minimum light intensity it needs. If you intend to grow plants in large quantities, you may want to obtain a light meter to test footcandles available in your light setup, checking on amounts obtainable at differing numbers of inches below light. (For most of the flowering plants, from 8 to 10 inches below light tubes is best.)

Most beginners find that using two 48-inch, 40-watt tubes of the type specifically made for growing plants (including both blue and red rays) offer flexibility good growing conditions for a variety of plants.

If you use a light meter to check on available footcandles, you will notice that the light is strongest at the center, and weakest at the ends of tubes. You can take advantage of this by placing those plants needing the most light in a central position, flanking them at ends with plants requiring less.

If you decide to build your light setup whether large or small, you should begin by knowing the standard sizes in which tube lamps are made: 15-inch (14-watt); 18-inch (15-watt); 24-inch (20-watt); 33-inch (25- watt); 36-inch (30-watt); 48-inch (40-watt); and 96-inch (72-watt). Fixtures for each size, including the sockets for the tubes, are slightly longer than the tube length.

If you use two 48-inch tubes of 40-watts each, side by side and spaced 6 inches apart, you will have a growing area of about 4 square feet (48 x 12 inches), and can obtain from 15 to 20 watts of light per square foot for plants grown below them the standard amount plants must have for healthy growth. It is always advisable to mount the tubes side by side rather than end to end in order to get maximum growing area in relation to lamp wattage. But unless you can get to a light setup from both sides, more than two side by side are impractical since you would have difficulty reaching across front plants to get at those in the rear.

Lamps should be installed so that they are not more than 15 inches above the tops of plants; 8 inches is considered ideal. You may choose from daylight or natural fluorescents as well as from among several varieties of tube lights designed for indoor gardens. Some veteran light gardeners find using one fluorescent and one plant tube in each fixture gives better results than either type used alone. But this is something you should experiment with for yourself, since little has been definitively established on this subject, and results vary widely depending upon the varieties of plants that are grown under lights.

Although length of life for tube lights is somewhat variable, you should probably plan to replace yours after about a year of use if they have been operated on a 16-hour basis for that period. Often you'll fee to see that the lamp has darkened, bate if you cannot, it's probably not producing the original amount of wattage.
