low light and All
Quick answer
If low light is what's going on with your All, the most likely cause is: Light intensity decreases as the square of the distance from the source — 2 feet from window = 1/4 light; 4 feet = 1/16 light
Start here:
- 1. Place high-light plants within 1-2 feet of south or west-facing windows
- 2. Low-light plants can thrive 4-8 feet from windows or in north-facing positions
Why low light happens to All
Light intensity decreases as the square of the distance from the source — 2 feet from window = 1/4 light; 4 feet = 1/16 light
How to correct low light on All
- 1
Place high-light plants within 1-2 feet of south or west-facing windows
- 2
Low-light plants can thrive 4-8 feet from windows or in north-facing positions
- 3
Acclimate plants gradually to higher light over 2 weeks — start with 2 hours/day
- 4
Use the inverse square law to calculate: 2ft = 1/4 light, 4ft = 1/16 light
Keep low light from repeating on this All
Place high-light plants within 1-2 feet of south-facing windows; use mirrors and white walls to reflect light
