How do indoor plants survive without sunlight?

How do indoor plants survive without sunlight?

Plants contain a molecule called chlorophyll, and the chlorophyll is what absorbs the sunlight. The chlorophyll absorbs red and blue light, and they reflect green light. Some plants can survive in very low-light conditions. If you think about dark, rainforest canopies, there are plants that grow in that environment.

Does indoor plant need sunlight?

Light. As with watering, every plant has different light requirements. Many plants prefer direct sunlight, but this may be hard to get inside a house. Placing a plant in a window might offer enough light, but some houseplants will need supplementing from a grow light (see Lighting Indoor Houseplants).

What does indirect sunlight mean for house plants?

Indirect light means that the sun is not directly hitting the plant. An example of direct light would be if your plant were outside directly under the sun, or if you placed your plant next to an open window with the sun shining directly on it. Extended exposure to full sun can damage a bromeliad's leaves.
