## Description

Gardening Under Lights details everything a gardener or hobbyist needs to know to garden indoors. Part One starts with the basics of photosynthesis, the science of light, and how to accurately measure how much light a plant needs. Part Two provides an overview of the most up-to-date tools and gear available. Parts Three and Four offer tips and techniques for growing popular ornamental plants (orchids, succulents, bonsai, and more) and edible plants (arugula, cannabis, oregano, tomatoes, and more) independent of the constraints of volatile outdoor conditions. Gardening Under Lights is a highly-detailed, accessible guide for seed starters, plant collectors, and anyone who wants to successfully garden indoors.

Review: Comprehensive Resource! - I really wish I would have purchased the more expensive hard copy of this book instead of the Kindle version because I will refer to this book again & again. It is not a "one-time read". There is so much valuable information on all aspects of growing plants, from how to start seeds & propagate through cuttings to how to deal with common pests. Of course, there is detailed information on why plants need light and how they respond to light. One of the elements that I didn't realize the importance of is that "many plants are photoperiodic, meaning they require different durations of light and darkness to shift into different phases of growth or development, such as producing flower buds or forming bulbs". When a plant has a photoperiod requirement, it will also have a critical daylength (period of darkness) that triggers it to bloom. This is important information for growing certain plants indoors because if the critical daylength isn't provided, the plant may never bloom/fruit. The last half of the book provides an overview of a wide range of edibles (arugula, basil, beets, broccoli, cannabis, carrot, chives, cilantro, citrus, dill, kale, lettuce, microgreens, mint, oregano, peas, peppers, spinach, summer squash, strawberry, thyme, tomato) and ornamentals (African violets, begonia, bonsai trees, carnivorous plants, fiddle-leaf fig, several types of orchids, succulents). For each plant, information is provided under the following headers: PHOTOPERIOD and critical daylength, LIGHT REQUIREMENTS, PROPAGATION tips, TEMPERATURE, SEASON, SPACE required, GROWING MEDIUM recommended, WATER, FERTILIZATION, PESTS & DISEASES to be on the lookout for, VARIETIES & CULTIVARS recommended for indoor growing, HARVEST, GROW THE SAME WAY (other plants with similar growing needs). I highly recommend this book for all gardeners. It is an invaluable resource guide on how to grow just about anything indoors.
Review: very informative at many levels - I was told this book was written from a scientist point of view, but so that a lay person could understand it. So true for the most part...some things were still over my head but I'd rather that then written too simply like talking down to a child. It works for an amateur like me or a professional gardener. I skimmed at at first, then skimmed it page by page again to see the different areas of lighting it covered. Then I bookmarked the areas I'm especially interested in with post it notes. Now I'm working my way through word by word & bookmarking charts & info I want as references. I'm impressed by the depth of detail. I hate to buy a book only to find it barely covered the high points & most of it I already knew. When I buy an informational book I want my money's worth. I want it to have depth like a college textbook but with info easily understood from the start. This is a book you can constantly refer back to learning more each time you read it. My only complaint is that my copy arrived with a smear of something like reddish grease across the front cover. It washed right off with cleaner & hadn't gotten on the pages so was still pristine. Not an author or publishing problem...just something went wrong in the warehouse when shipping it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sorely needed, comprehensive reference for houseplant newbies
*by O***A on December 28, 2018*

A lot of the info in the book is available for free on-line--but you have to dig around. More importantly, you have to know what kinds of questions to ask and when it comes to lighting and light, generally, most of us are so unfamiliar with how light works that we don't know what we don't know. For example, knowing that incandescant lights are insufficient for growing plants, I assumed that plants simply don't register such lights at all, but it turns out that for some species of plant, incandescents contribute to the sense of a photoperiod and I may be inadvertantly messing with an important environmental cue for certain bioprocesses like flowering when I force my plants to stay up late with me and my reading light. This book presents all of this info in one place, whether you care about all of it or not (but if some parts don't interest you now, they might later). It's also great that it's not written from the perspective of growing cannabis, since the biology of cannabis and the objectives of cannabis growers can diverge widely from those of pretty much every other plant one might want to grow indoors. I can't think of any other book out there like this, which is strange because light is probably THE most important component in plant care. Whether you plan on investing in grow lights or not, a dedicated reference on what light is, how to measure it, and what it means for plants is an incredibly useful tool for any would-be green thumb. And this book is fairly light (and quick) reading.
