What is direct light

To put it simply, light that shines directly on the plant without any obstruction is called direct light. Direct light is better for plants that like light. Because there is no object blocking direct light, the light is stronger and is suitable for plants that like strong light.

For example, the plants we usually grow outdoors will be directly illuminated by sunlight at noon, which is also very beneficial to the growth of plants. Some small grass flowers and some ornamental plants prefer direct sunlight.

What is scattered light?

Scattered light is actually the light in a brighter environment. Sometimes we will find that some places do not have direct light, but are also very bright, such as the living room at home, or under the tree, these places are scattered light. This kind of lighting environment is more suitable for plants with sufficient scattered light, which cannot be exposed to the sun, but still need light.

In daily life, there are actually more plants that prefer scattered light than those that prefer direct light. Some flowering plants and some green plants prefer scattered light.

Light shining through clear glass

Some flower lovers think that light passing through glass is also direct light, but it is not. There is actually less ultraviolet light in the light passing through glass. If the plant likes direct light, it can bloom under glass. However, due to the lack of ultraviolet light, the color of the plant's flowers will not be very bright and the flowers will not be large. Therefore, there is a difference between light passing through transparent glass and direct exposure to sunflowers.

At this point, flower lovers should have some understanding of light. Next, Huahua will tell you which plants like direct light and which plants like scattered light. You can use it as a reference.
