Question

How does color affect plants growth?

Answer 1

The color of the plant leaves is what part of light it does not use.



so a green leave uses all of the sun light but not the green wavelength, so it is reflected to your eyes.

So a green plant will not grow in green light.



Of course, some plants are not green, but the same idea applies.

Answer 2

The red part of the daylight is absorbed as energy for the plant doing photo sythesis and for grow. Since the red has been absorbed, the plant looks green.

Answer 3

You mean the colour of light or THEIR colour? Plants absorb certein wave length light for photosinthesis, this wave length depends on their colour. On the other hand if you iluminate a plant with a light colour that it can not absorb it'll die.
