Not only simple and free light for seedlings
When natural light is inadequate, especially in winter and spring seedlings play an important role in its proper development. If the seedlings get a little light, it is pulled, it can become weak and die after planting in the open ground.
Not only the seedlings, but also in the winter home flowering plants are needed. If you and your family grow cherry or kerkins in winter and spring, it also needs fruit plants. To avoid such problems, gardeners use different backlighting.
For light, phytolamps – special lights for the light of plants, which release light in the red and blue spectrum. They trigger photosynthesis, promoting better growth and the growth of seedlings. You can use free light and then do not require phytolamps.
Reflective screens for highlighting plants: How to prepare
To do this, you can create a reflection screen with your own hands. It is made from many layers of special insulation material, foil or normal foil on the one hand. Wooden sloping will also be needed to create a standard structure.
Cut a portion from the same insulation material to the size of a flower pot or container, insert two wooden curves inside, and place it in a pot or container. Place the window so that the light reflects from the screen and returns to the plants.
You can do this from the ordinary foil, but you need to use several layers for a strong design. Protect the two skins between the foil layers, insert it into the flower pot, and then place it in the window.
This method has been proven by many gardeners and gardeners: the seedlings are not extracted, gradually and fully formed. The same applies to household plants. Do not be afraid: Plants are not possible to burn with high amounts of light, because the autumn-winter and spring light is very small, so such a reflection screen is very useful for your plants.

For alternatively, you can use the mirror – if you put seedlings between the glasses or a large glass surface, it will get more light. Just as reflecting the screens, this method does not require additional electric costs, but it helps to reduce the extraction of plants.
