Phytolamps are needed by gardeners and flower growers to help plants compensate for the lack of sunlight in winter.

Many people consider these devices to be unnecessary, but experienced gardeners know that this is far from true.

They are also aware that it is not enough to simply install a phytolamp. You also need to know how to use it correctly, otherwise there will only be damage.

Much depends on the power of the phytolamp. If the device is set too high, the plants may get burned, and the seedlings will literally burn.

Therefore, when using a phytolamp, you should remember a few simple rules. Then the device will bring many benefits to the plants.

Firstly, the optimal distance from the lamp to the seedlings is 30 cm. In some cases, it can be reduced, but not closer than 15 cm.

Another fatal mistake is spraying plants with the lamp on. Summer residents believe that light and water will lead to explosive growth of seedlings. But in reality, the plants can get burned.
