Light Up Your Plant’s Life

(Newswire.net — June 7, 2018) Cheyenne, Wyoming — There’s nothing like a beautiful sunset, it’s the ideal backdrop to candle light dinners and long romantic walks on the beach. The radiance and energy of the sun is admired the world over and its biggest fan are plants. Yup! Plants love sunlight and without it, they’re pretty dull, sad and won’t survive for very long. 

“Photosynthesis is the chemical change which happens in the leaves of green plants,” explains BBC GCSE Bitesize. “It is the first step towards making food – not just for plants but ultimately every animal on the planet. During this reaction, carbon dioxide and water are converted into glucose and oxygen. The reaction requires light energy, which is absorbed by a green substance called chlorophyll. Photosynthesis takes place in leaf cells. These contain chloroplasts, which are tiny objects containing chlorophyll.” 

It’s crucial to ensure that whatever is being grown has the right amount of light for its needs and this where the 3-in-1 Soil Meter by HealthyWiser™ comes in handy as it not only tests for soil moisture and pH levels, it also provides instantaneous light readings with remarkable accuracy. Moreover, measuring the amount of light surrounding plants naturally aids in plant care since sunlight is the best fuel for all plants as it supports photosynthesis but the value of light doesn’t end there. Light is the super simple not so secret ingredient for the production of top notch fruits, vegetables, flowers and the likes.

“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. 

To simplify things, plants are basically reliant on light for many other functions beyond just to make food. They have physical reactions to the seasonal changes of day/night time durations, grow in response to light stimuli such as when leaning towards or away from a light source. Without light, a plant wouldn’t have much of a life worth writing about and this would likely disrupt the lives of many other organisms sooner or later. 

“This gadget exceeded my exceptions,” declares a verified HealthyWiser™ 3-in-1 Soil Meter customer on Amazon. “I am experimenting with indoor gardening and I discovered that all grow-lights are not created equal. In fact this meter helps me determine how close to keep the lights to the plants. Takes the guess-work out of watering my houseplants. Looking forward to testing my outdoor beds for ph levels. It’s really amazing that it uses no batteries.” 

Light is much more powerful and influential than many give it credit for and plants are a true testament to the magical energy source the sun is for all living things on earth. As gardeners, landscapers or horticulturalists should know light is especially important to getting the results desired so monitoring the amount their plants receive is crucial. Thus, they are equally excited about the HealthyWiser™ 3-in-1 Soil Meter as it provides them with all the data they need to properly care for the individual needs of various plants in their garden.
