Thank you for the list you provided. I have been looking at light meters trying to educate on what numbers are what and you are the first to say what is what. So I used your link to purchase the light meter.
@cindylundberg125, You're very welcome. I'm glad the list is helpful. That's great you purchased the light meter. I think you'll find it very enlightening! :)
I’d like to comment on your including orchids into your “high light” list. I was a member of the Illinois Orchid Society for 25 years, at one point I grew over 400 orchids species from all over the world,and lectured at the Chicago Botanic Gardens on orchid culture, and I can tell you that with rare exception orchids are not high light plants. They are epiphytics who like to grow on branches and trunks of tall trees where they are kept semi-shaded. Some even grow on the ground in our shady cool Minnesota forests (look up their State flower). Anyway, the real reason I’m butting in is: 90% of the orchids sold at supermarkets and garden centers are Phalaenopsis, a.k.a. the moth orchid, it definitely enjoys being indoors year round near a window that has a screen so the sun is filtered. Or a window which is partially shaded by a tree. Never take them outside in the Spring, which so many people do, the sun will completely fry them. Many orchids can be taken outside in summer, but none of those are sold in supermarkets and garden centers, and even so these orchids, while outside must be placed in cages with screens to protect them from full sun. Hope this helps. Absolutely love you and your great dedication.❤👏🏻
I don't see a link for any of the things you have spoke of. Please help me figure it out. I'm no good at this RUclips platform, it is so confusing to me. Thank you!
@CarynCerven-y6n, It can be a bit confusing. You need to hit the x next to comments to clear that and then you'll see the word more under the beginning of the description and you click on that and it will show you links to the products. Sometimes you have to hit more more than once. Just to make it easier, here are links to two light meters, including the one in the video: amzn.to/3MRQxIW / amzn.to/4ecbHh4 / And here is a link to an article on my website about the topic which gives you the lists of plants and their light requirements and other info: www.healthyhouseplants.com/how-and-why-to-use-a-light-meter-for-houseplants/

Our AH-Quantuv PAR Meter can test PAR as well as UVA light irradiance intensity. Have a try?
