VITALUX Professional LED Grow Light - A great tool for growing succulents indoors!
Succulents are quite popular now. Many people like succulents. They will love them when they see the fat and fat appearance of succulents. However, many enthusiasts just like to buy them. It is hot in three minutes. It will become leggy and faded completely! Why is this so?
Everything is a problem of planting and maintenance. When planting succulents, the medium is the easiest problem to solve!! But when it comes to light, many people will say that succulents do not need sunlight and can be grown indoors. This statement is very wrong. Incorrect! Succulents are good plants in their own right, but if there is not enough light indoors for a long time, although they can keep it from dying, there will be problems such as fading and leggy!
Lighting for succulents vs. plant lights
Try not to use sunlight, it is best to use LED grow lights for succulents to fill in indoor light! If it is planted in the sun, it must be in autumn and winter. In summer, it must not be exposed to the outside, because succulents cannot be exposed to high temperature sunlight (especially the scorching sun in the central and southern regions), let alone "prolonged" or "excessive" exposure. Ultraviolet rays, but "sufficient short time" or "trace long time" ultraviolet rays can color succulent! As long as you use LED succulent lamps to grow succulents indoors, it is recommended to use "high-purity red/blue composite spectrum", never use the so-called "full spectrum" or "high color rendering" (PS. Because both of them use red firefly When the light powder is used as a false color, the energy in the blue light area is consumed too much by the red fluorescent powder, resulting in relatively insufficient purity and total energy of the blue light and deep red light, and the light decay rate of the red fluorescent powder is more than 10 times that of the pure color light. The technology of stealing materials will cause the light to decline by 50% in less than a year), and LED grow lights are used to illuminate succulent plants, what is the visual indicator of color rendering, which has nothing to do with promoting the growth of succulents! When viewing succulents, just turn off the LED grow lights and use ordinary lights, and make sure that the red-blue composite spectrum can improve the photosynthesis and growth rate of plants when lighting. In addition, maintaining good ventilation inside, try not to exceed 30 degrees, is also a major point~
Shelf for Succulents vs. Plant Lights
It is recommended to use a shelf for placing, and install LED succulent lamps. The "light quality" must choose "red/blue composite spectrum" (PS. Do not use low-cost LED lamp beads known as full spectrum). Now many players Everyone likes to buy cheap low-power lights (ex.2835/5050/5630, etc.) on Taobao. The penetrating power of this LED light is not bad, but it is not professional. The LED only emits light with a small dot. The built-in chip is only 10~14mil, and the penetration is extremely low. If the power is lower, the distance from the plant will be closer, and the range will be smaller. If the students and players are not demanding enough to fill the plants with light, it is still possible, but for professional or demanding customers, such as shelf planting, it must be Use high-power (built-in 45mil chip) LED succulent plant special plant lamp (ex.VITALUX), because professional LED plant lamp can achieve high brightness and high penetration effect!
Leggy vs. Plant Lights for Succulents
Regarding this issue, many people will say that if the flesh is leggy, just buy an LED plant light with "full blue light" to fill in the light. Here I will tell you that this idea is wrong, "high brightness full blue light" For succulents, the environment slows down the growth. Of course, it is not easy to grow leggy, but if there is no deep red light to promote growth for a long time, the succulents will keep their original appearance and will not grow up, and it is not a good thing for a long time! To solve the problem of succulent and leggy, it is best to have more blue light content than red light content (2 to 1 (B2) or 5 to 1 (B1) of ex.VITALUX professional plant lights), and the overall light (light energy) is strong. , Pay attention to water control, water once every 15-20 days, if the frequency of watering is frequent or the control is not good, it will be too long!
Coloring of succulents vs. plant lights
There are 3 elements to raising a lot of meat: water control, light, and temperature difference. These three points can be said to be indispensable. Water control is the easiest to control. If there is light, the light in summer is also very strong. In summer, everyone also controls water. Why is it not easy to color? The main factor is that the meat is easy to fade in summer because the temperature difference in summer is small. This also corresponds to why the meat is best colored only in the spring, autumn and early winter, so the conclusion is that the temperature difference is the most critical issue in determining the coloring! And LED plant light is second only to auxiliary, which can make succulent grow better, and also increase the probability of coloring!
