this is a good PDF on the affects of different light sources on plants...

Answer 2

Plants have a tendancy to follow the light. Some prefer in the shade. Actually, it depends on the kind of plant.

Answer 3

Light is the most important aspect of plant growing.

The green leaves absorb light and in darkness plants turn the energy into sugars which feed the plant and roots.

Answer 4

well light affects the plants by either a good way or a bad way but everything needs light to grow, other than mold and fungus and there again i do believe it still has to have some light or nothing would grow......
most of our flowers strive on sunlight, but so does weeds unfortionately..
well i hope this helped a little...

Answer 5

depends, what kind of plant it is, if it is something like a "dieffenbachia", it cant have direct sunlight (at least here, in saskatchwan), because it will get sun scorched

but something like a cactus, need a lot of light. so when you buy a plant (or seeds), just read the li'l label that comes with it.
