Reduced Solar radiation effects on house plants.

Effects on house plants with 3M window film applied to windows.

KNOWN FACTS

1.Growth and development requirements vary with different plants

2.Growth and development depend upon light, temperature range, exposure, humidity, C O 2 levels, etc.

3.For sufficient growth, the wavelength of 400-700 nm is important for photosynthesis (greening process)

4.700-850 nm range is required for the photomorphogenic process (fL ow E ring process)

5.Most greenhouses have artificial light to supplement natural light (day vs. night, summer vs. winter, cloudy
vs. sunny)

6.U V is damaging to most green plants

7.Extreme temperature variations are detrimental to plant growth

8.3M Sun Control Window Film will help reduce solar heat gain, temperature buildup and moisture loss.

(Plants may require less water after film is installed, so care should be taken not to drown plants from over watering.)

Here’s a question for you – if they block out 99% of the ultraviolet rays, will the indoor plants still grow? I know I have to be careful in specifying some laminated glass for this very problem, so was curious to know your experience.
