Light: So Important It Is For Your Plants!

Melanie Melanie
· October

Have you ever wondered why your plants don't grow in winter? Or why their leaves suddenly turn yellow, even though you water them well? You just want to make your plantbabies happy – we get that! And we are here to explain the role light plays in all this, and why it is absolutely vital for your plants to get the right amount of sunlight.

Energy!

The Sun. Literally no life would exist on earth without it.

We feel this especially in the wintertime, as the days get shorter and the temperatures drop. But when spring comes and the sun finally wakes up from its seasonal nap, we feel a different energy. Our mood changes and we try to soak up as much of the sun's rays as possible.
