Everyone knows that plants need sunlight to live (or at least, we hope everyone knows!). Plant leaves “breathe in” carbon dioxide, absorb water from the ground, and use energy from the sun to create the food they need (in the form of sugars) and “exhale” oxygen. While the process is much more complicated, there is one thing for certain: light is important! Without proper lighting, plants cannot perform the very processes they need to survive. Some plants have more specific growing needs than others, which is why cacti and calathea cannot be treated the same.
