LED grow lights are a specially designed type of light that emit specific wavelengths of light that plants need for photosynthesis. Unlike traditional incandescent bulbs, which emit large amounts of heat and energy, LED grow lights are energy efficient and produce significantly less heat. This makes them ideal for indoor plants, as they do not put out enough heat to damage them.
At Edge Hill Herb Farm, we recently started growing our own tea indoors using LED grow lights. By doing so, we can control the environment and ensure the tea plants are getting the necessary light and nutrients they need. The LED grow lights provide a consistent light source, which allows for the tea plants to photosynthesize and grow properly.
One of the benefits of growing plants indoors with LED grow lights is the ability to extend the growing season. This means that plants can continue to grow and produce fruits, vegetables, or herbs all year round, which is great for those who live in areas with harsh winters or limited outdoor space.
Additionally, indoor plants can improve the air quality in your home or office by purifying the air of harmful toxins. Plants such as spider plants, chrysanthemums, and peace lilies have been shown to purify the air of pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and ammonia.
In conclusion, growing plants indoors with the use of LED grow lights has proven to be a successful method for many gardeners and plant enthusiasts. Not only does it allow for year-round growth, but it also provides an array of health benefits. At Edge Hill Herb Farm, we are excited to continue our indoor tea growing project and explore other indoor plant options with LED grow lights.
