A Spotlight on Gardening

(Newswire.net — June 15, 2018) Cheyenne, Wyoming — The sun is so bright that it can damage your eyes if one stares directly into it, the sun can cause skin cancer and too much sun without sufficient rain can cause droughts. With all that said, sunlight is still a wonderful thing, especially when it’s harnessed right for solar energy or photosynthesis of plants with green leaves. 

“Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and other things make food,” explains Simple English Wikipedia. “It is a chemical process that uses sunlight to turn carbon dioxide into sugars that the cell can use as energy. As well as plants, many kinds of algae, protists and bacteria use it to get food. Photosynthesis is very important for all life on Earth.” 

Since humans need plants for food plus the oxygen from plants, taking care of nature makes taking care of mankind in the grand scheme of things. The length of light exposure and the intensity each plant needs varies so learning how to supply their needs is important and gadgets like the HealthyWiser™ 3-in-1 Soil Meter helps. This device tests for soil moisture and pH levels alongside providing instantaneous light exposure readings with impressive precision. Plants are in love with light because it does more than simply help them create food, it also influences other developmental activities. 

“During the course of evolution, plants developed the capability of capturing and utilizing the solar radiation,” explains Banaras Hindu University, Department of Botany in their research paper entitled Role of Light in Plant Development. “These plants gained an evolutionary advantage over those that have not developed these traits. Light besides being an important source of energy also controls many developmental processes like photoperiodism, phototropism and photomorphogenesis of plant growth.

Essentially, sunlight changes with the seasons and the shift from daytime to nighttime affects how plants grow and develop. There are even physical responses one may note such as a plant growing lean towards the direction of its light source. 

“This meter was the one I should have bought 2 years ago, it sure would have saved a lot of money and heart ache,” says a verified HealthyWiser™ 3-in-1 Soil Meter customer on Amazon. “I like growing indoor citrus trees which I have managed to lose several, thinking it was pH or water-caused when I find out my lighting was not sufficient enough and when I adjusted lighting in this short amount of time, my trees are doing better. I like the way I can test all 3 with the flip of a switch.”

Home gardeners across America are being increasingly aware of their plants’ needs and are responding appropriately thanks to the information provided by the HealthyWiser™ 3-in-1 Soil Meter.
