Florensis greenhouses in the colour of the year

Colour per plant phase  
For each plant phase another type of light is used, so directly after sowing or when plants are more mature and begin to flower. 

One colour has a positive effect on quicker germination, whereas another colour can enhance the colour, taste, and aroma of plants. Other effects can result into a greener plant colour or into the improvement of the own food system of the plants.

We use red light to speed up the phytochrome conversion, so that the plant needs less time to go into night mode. This allows the plant to produce a greater yield.  Also combined colours can have an effect during cultivation time and much exposure can then, for example, result in strong, healthy stems and leaves. The colour combination of red and blue light is important. The mix of these two colours in the greenhouse gives violet light, as in the Very Peri colour. We use this a lot and it has a positive effect on the compactness of the plants.

There are a lot of colour effects possible which makes it more diverse to be used in any phase of the plant. In general the development of colour usage in cultivation still is in its infancy and there’s a lot of research on the effects of colour spectrum. As Florensis we focus on innovation and therefore we also want to finance these researches done by the Wageningen University & Research (WUR) and have a strong partnership with them.
