Artificial light: The essential tool to keep your plants healthy in winter

The wintering of plants during the cold season:

Overwintering is a method used to protect sensitive plants from low temperatures during the winter months. This technique aims to prepare the plants before the arrival of winter by protecting them from the bad climates of the season such as frost, wind and snow.
By winterizing your plants properly, you can help ensure their survival through the winter months and allow them to continue growing and flowering the following year.

Which plants are victims of the cold?

Plants that are most commonly overwintered are those that are native to warm or temperate climates, and are not adapted to harsh winters. Indoor plants like orchids, tropicals, and cacti, as well as outdoor plants like roses, shrubs, and fruit trees can all benefit from overwintering.

Protection methods in the winter garden:

There are several methods for overwintering plants, including bringing them inside the house or greenhouse, covering them with a wintering veil or canvas, mulching them with straw or dead leaves. .

When you overwinter a plant, you need to make sure it is healthy and free from any diseases or pest infestations. You also need to make sure the plant is well watered and the soil is well drained to prevent water accumulation, which could freeze and damage the roots.

What is the advantage of using lights for your plants during the winter period:

Using plant lighting during winter periods can have several advantages. During winter, days are shorter and sunlight is often less intense, which can affect plant growth and health.



The advantage of lighting them is to be able to introduce green plants indoors in rooms that are a little dark.

Another use for lamps is to be able to start seedlings indoors during the winter when the days are too short.

Horticulturists use them to be able to produce flowers in winter such as roses.

Agricultural research uses them to create artificial cycles independent of the seasons.

Scientific laboratories, horticultural companies and universities also use them in in-vitro reproduction to develop young plants in culture chambers.
