First, light has a great impact on the growth of flowers. Without light, flower plants cannot carry out photosynthesis and lack nutrients and energy, so light intensity is a limiting factor for flower growth. Light also affects the ornamental effect of flower plants. Without certain light conditions, foliage plants will not show colors and markings. Light also affects the ornamental lifespan of flowers; without suitable light, flower leaves are prone to turning yellow.

Second, light also has a great impact on flower blooming. Generally speaking, on the same flower plant, branches that fully receive light form more flower buds; branches with insufficient light form fewer flower buds, and will bloom less in the future. While meeting light requirements, the length of daylight also has a very large impact on blooming. This is because flowers require a certain daylength for flower bud differentiation, and only when this prerequisite is met can flowers bloom smoothly.
