Why Excess Light Is Dangerous for Plants: Be Careful When Planting Certain Crops
An experienced gardener understands that each crop has its own light requirements.
Therefore, when purchasing seeds, it is important to read planting recommendations and listen to the advice of professionals.
It is believed that there is no such thing as too much light, but some plants do not share this opinion.
Let's pay attention to the advice of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
Why is too much light dangerous for plants?
There is a category of crops that grow more slowly with excess light – they prefer diffused light, for example, under the shade of trees with large crowns.
This category includes lettuce, sorrel, rhubarb, perennial onions and garlic.
If such plants are exposed to the sun every day for a long time, they will soon begin to gradually wither.
If you see that their leaves are curling up too early and the plant itself is starting to dry out, then you should reconsider the location of these crops for the next year.
