🌱 Different Plants, Different Growth Rates
It’s completely normal for plants to grow at different speeds. However, make sure every plant receives enough light.
If you notice that one plant is growing more slowly than the others, check whether it is being shaded by larger plants. You can trim or reposition the larger plants to allow more light to reach the slower-growing ones.
For taller or heavier plants, you can also use support sticks to help keep them upright and prevent them from blocking light for neighbouring plants.
Light is essential for photosynthesis, so plants that don’t receive enough light may grow slowly, become weak, or develop smaller leaves.
Keep the grow lights approximately 10–12 cm (4–5 inches) above the plants for adequate light coverage.
🌡️ Temperature Matters Too
Light isn’t the only factor that affects growth — temperature also plays an important role.
Plants generally grow best when the temperature is around 20–25°C. Temperatures above 20–21°C are usually ideal for healthy, active growth.
When temperatures fall below 19°C, plant growth can slow considerably.
For the best results, keep your em-Li in a warm, comfortable environment and avoid placing it in cold or draughty areas.
